I know a couple of you guys have these, so I have a few questions:


  • What twist rate is used?


  • What gas block comes with these barrels?


  • Is the .295 neck reliable with factory ammo?


  • What contour are these/what do they weigh?



Thanks!

I have a LaRue lopro gas block on my 22" CSS setup.  .295 neck works with all ammo and the brass is not worked as much so it lasts longer.  7.62x39 brass fireforms to 6.5G sweet in this chamber too.  I can't remember what the twist is.  Email CSS and they will get back to you in a few days.  THe CSS's are Lothar Walther barrels and shoot great.  Mine loves 120gr bullets.

Good luck. I emailed them on 2/5, and again on 2/8, and still haven't heard back.

I have the CSS 22" barrel, so that's all I know about.

It's a very heavy bull barrel.

The .295 chamber is fine.

It came with what I believe is a PRI gas block made for the AR10 sized bull barrels.

If you want to get in touch with CSS, send me an IM, I know someone strongly affiliated with CSS (or what company I was told bought CSS and just has not figured out what to do with the website) so unless I have things mixed up I think I know who you need to contact. Incidently, his son is looking at attending law school where i am now and am going to be showing him around next week.  I can also give you his email if you would prefer to just send me an IM with your contact info.

I believe Scott Medesha of Medesha firearms did all the barrel work for CSS. He can be found on the web. He prefers phone calls to emails.

Thanks for the help, Cold - CSS had a major computer virus/attack on them and they are trying to get things back up and running.  But they contacted me quickly and should have information for me today on my order - I got the 20" .295 barrel and bolt and am eagerly anticipating it!
