Are these the barrels Pete was selling 6-8 months ago?

Aside from some more velocity. I don't think I could get anymore use out of that ..that I couldn't get our of a 20... Barrel accuracy is not always relative to length... |

Quoted:
How heavy are these barrels? I know they don't support a bipod so, I'm hoping they don't mess up the off-hand balance. The thought of a 24" barrel in a package the size of a fixed stock 16" barreled AR-15 is enticing if the ergonomics and balance aren't messed up. How do the 24" barreled AUGs work in the real world'? Too nose heavy? Too slow to transition? Is the velocity gain worth while? TIA, Sid p.s. Underwhelmed with 16" ballistic performance on coyotes and looking for more oomph on random <100lb hogs You could get the factory rail that replaces the front grip and use a bipod if it's too front heavy. |

I have an original 1/7 24" with bipod and a new 1/9 24" barrel. A year ago there was a lot of talk and pictures of a bipod design for these new 24" barrels. While the new bipod looks neat, I'll buy one to "have" but not use. The 24" barrels are more accurate without the bipod. Like the picture above I also use the grip rail and a bipod on a Special Receiver.
I wonder if this AUG will be your only AUG, I personally don't think that a 24" barrel is the way to go on your only AUG. The barrel is just too long. It isn't a good length for much more than stationary situations. Don't get me wrong, I like the 24" barrel and it nails steel plates where I aim, but it isn't an ideal barrel length for someone's only AUG. |

I have a 16" barreled AUG. The longer barrel would be for better performance on hogs.

Sounds like more of an ammo issue. What ammo are you using and at what distances are you seeing poor performance?

Mk262 is still yaw dependent for fragmentation

I saw a study that compared velocities out of 10, 14.5, 16, 20, and 21.5 inch (the last was out of M17S) barrels. I think it said that after 22? or 24? the friction was actually counter productive. |

Piglets are pretty easy, sows and boars are hard to put down. Sounds like MK-262 isn't a good choice for my rifle. |

There is always the 20" also. Those balance near perfect and get you some more velocity over the 16".

I'm interested in learning more about your rifle performance on Coyote's and Hogs in general. I'm not sure BBL length is your source of troubles, it might be ammo selection for the Coyote's. |

Are the 24's for sale now or are they vapor ware, Do they sell the barrel in a 1/7? 1/9 is too slow . . . .
