AS always, an interesting and informative post! Thanks for sharing....

Lots of work went into that post and I for one appreciated it. How did you get 2800 fps from a 20" barrel with 77 grain Noslers'?
|
|
Great job, as usual, Molon! Is that Afghan barrel a 5.56 or a 6.8?
|
|
Just wondering how you would compare the accuracy of the N4 light recce barrel to other chrome lined barrels?
|
|
Awesome post. Surprising how well the N4 Light 14.5 did. My shoots way better than I can also.
|
|
That was a great post with excellent and articulate information.
A very nice change of pace. WELL DONE. |
|
Great post! It figures, the Afghan is the one I am looking at ordering...hehe. Great write ups on the others and Im sure the 14.5 will be right there with the rest of them. Keep up the great work!

I just realized something - I wish I had 6 Noveske barrels at once!
|
|
Super informative post pal, thanks! Now if you will just do all the MRP barrels for me and then i can send you a check
|
|
Damn good Molon...
Though i really hate you for showing the accuracy of that 20"... its REALLY tempting to get a new 18" barrel for my competition gun.... |
|
|
Insane. It's stuff like this that makes paying to support this website a no-brainer.
Thank you. |

Molon, in picture #24 (the dog) is that your target retriever or spotter?? Again great post. As a side note by the way my wife hates you as i now use your posts as my stand in Christmas list. Cheers.

Molon,
This is great information! Do you have your test protocol published on the site? I would like to know how long you let the barrel cool between shots and groups of shots. Do you find any connection between barrel thickness and POI shift as the barrel heats up? Does shooting a hot barrel affect accuracy? Thanks, 2Hunt |

Just wondering how you would compare the accuracy of the N4 light recce barrel to other chrome lined barrels? They are the most consistently accurate chrome lined barrels with the same weight as government profile barrels that I have tested. Some heavier chrome lined barrels (medium contour, HBAR) such as the barrel used in the Colt 6721, will shoot more accurately but with the obvious weight penalty. |

Molon,
Thanks. This all must take an incredible amount of your time. You clear posts allow us all to benfit from your efforts. 2Hunt |

this test further reinforced the point that 55 grain FMJ bullets fired from an AR-15 are simply not capable of MOA accuracy. Also, not forgetting our Internet Commandos in the audience, I fired a 3-shot group using the 55 grain BlitzKings that had an extreme spread of 0.298" *snicker* Great post, thanks a bunch. As an owner of an Afghan (who has fired nearly 4K rounds through the gun) and still never shot it off a bench or done a group beyond getting more-or-less sighted in,I'm looking forward to your Afghan test. Is there any significant difference between the Afghan barrel and the other stainless barrels? |

Arfcom needs to just bite the bullet and create a Molon subforum. Would making finding these posts easier.

Molon,
If you were to own one rifle for all purposes, target, varmit, zombies...what would your set up be? 5.56 or 6.8?, Do you have a multi-purpose rifle already put together for pictures? I know, it's Satruday and I've got all these questions....least I waited for the weekend. |

Excellent thread and incredible attention to detail.
I also just purchased (waiting to receive from Rainier) a 14.5" SS Afghan. Do you have any rough idea or time frame on when you plan to do a report/write up on this barrel as you mentioned it a time or two in the posts above ? Many thanks! |

I shoot 1/4 MOA with my AK-74 using 7N6 surplus all day long.
