I may have a chance to pick up a 308 barrel directly from a manufacturer.....16" Fluted HBar style barrel with threaded muzzle for $400 (maybe a little less). It did not quite pass QC. nothing wrong with chamber or anything, functions fine, just this batch of barrels is only getting 1.5" MOA versus sub MOA they usually get. The manufacturer does not want to put them out on their rifles/uppers because of this.....I am begging them hard to try and get one......I think 1.5 moa is not bad for what I would probably make as a Iron Sighted plinker, and since I know to only expect limited accuracy, I will not be disappointed.
Give me your opinion.....Would 1.5 MOA be acceptable to you? oh, and they were using factory ammo, so hand loads might actually be a little better, but they are not making any guarantees or anything and it would be sold to me as a 2nd. I already have a DPMS upper receiver, F.F. Tube, Gas Block, Break, DPMS 308 bolt and 308 lower parts, hust need the lower and a 308 carrier and would be done...........
edited to add I think they said that they are chrome lined..........
