THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
What is the general consensus on these? Not finding much worth while info on google.

Having good luck with my 20" in .308. Tight chamber and accurate. I'd recommend one.

Rainier Arms sells a barrel for the AR10 from another manufacturer than Armalite? Do you have a link to it? I have searched their site and several weeks ago I even called them asking if they carried AR10 barrels other than the Armalite barrels. Heck, I even live 15 minutes from their store.

Do tell,

Thanks

EDIT: I'm thinking this was a misprint of someone looking for an Olympic Arms AR15 product?

Sometimes I'll try sending a 150 gr FMJ or a 155 PALMA bullet 600+ yards with my AR10. While I have heard the 175 bullets would be a better choice for the wind, I often find myself on the firing line with the 150's. This makes me ask if the 10" twist seems kinda fast?

I'm still .30 caliber ignorant, so I don't yet know how different twists influence different bullets as distance increases.

My older SASS with 11.25 ArmaLite SASS barrel was putting lead on steel at 1000 yards today, so I am quite happy with the factory barrel.

My even older 10T with the EA chrome moly barrel can still do that.
If it's a Colt, it's a copy of an original ArmaLite.

I am not LARRYG36.

Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

If your AR10 is marked Geneseo, IL, it's still an AR10 no matter what some people say.
