If you ordered a “pre ban barrel” for your next EBR built, what profile would you expect to receive? Everything I find online suggests differing opinions as to what exactly qualifies as a “pre ban” barrel profile.
Yes, I know I could call them. But they are closed for the night, and I am impatient. That and I’m trying to learn me somethin’. |

Quoted:
Preban means it should have a flashhider and a bayonet lug. Not what profile it is. Where are you getting it from? Compass Lake Engineering. I called them up and gave them my specs for the barrel (M4 feed ramps, rifle length gas, twist rate, etc.). When it came to the barrel profile, I specified .750 at the gas block and that I wanted to use it for target/precision range work. The response from the machinist was "Ohh, you want a pre ban profile." Since I was only interested in their barrel, I thought the "pre ban" comment was a little odd. I got the price quote and went about my business. I assume that he was comparing "pre ban" to the M4 profile. |

Quoted:
I would imagine that since you said "target/precision range work" he is thinking "heavy." I would agree but if it were me I would want an SPR profile. A heavy profile is just that. And more to lug around. If it is a good quality barrel it will still be as accurate with a Gov. profile. The SPR is about in between. |

I'll give them a call tomorrow morning to verify the actual barrel dimensions. I think I want something like this. |
