Quoted:
416 R ordnance grade stainless steel produced in Germany by the same mill as H&K If by H&K you mean Heckler and Koch, then it is very unlikely, as HK uses only one supplier for barrel steel (steel alloy actually and it is in France. I was told that during my visit in Oberndorf. Reson for one supplier is ability of tighter quality control and lot-to-lot consistency. |

My SS 16" Mid-length select series build at 150 yd's so far.
77gr SMK's I love this barrel 
Getting another one soon to replace another popular brand barrel that I am disappoint with in the accuracy department,and have tried 4 different powders, and 5 different bullets with. I think Rainier may be on to something here. An accurate barrel with a 5.56 chamber, for a great price, go figure.

I can't give you my powder weight, because it's a little on the warm side, but with no over pressure signs coming from my barrel. I can tell you that I am using IMR8208XBR powder, and my other barrel I will not name here, didn't like any other powder, but is still not near as accurate as the Select Series 16" I have on my newer build. I also believe that group would be even tighter if I had it in a led sled type rest. I was just using a bag in the front, and holding a bag supporting the stock, and squeezing it for the rear elevation adjustment while working up this load for this barrel. |

Can you run some kind of special where a low profile gas block is pre-installed? Maybe a drop down with a +$XX for an installed low pro gas block? I think a lot of your customers would opt for it.

i would strongly advise you to offer this with the option of a ability to do the gas block yourself just like noveske.
you guys should also offer up barrel nuts and extra crush washers for your barrels, and some type of locktite / thread locker for muzzle attachments. |

Seems like an awesome profile, but why mid-length? More weight reduction because of more material removal forward of the gas block?

What LP gas block would work great with this barrel any suggestions ? Our Rainier Arms Lo Profile Match Grade gas blocks work great! I'm seriously considering this barrel for my first upper build. (Done many lowers, but never an upper yet) A couple questions: 1) I was told that you guys will perm-attach muzzle devices. True? 2) If so, could I have you guys install the low-pro gas block linked to above, and then perm-attach one of your comps/brakes (not sure on which one yet).........and would I still be able to slide a barrel nut over all of this? Because I'm not sure if I'd want a GI barrel nut, or a proprietary nut for certain rails. I'm just wondering if I would need to choose before everything was pinned and perm-attached. |

Figured I'd answer this for you since it seemed easy enough. 1. Looks like they do. Found this in their Gunsmithing section: Pin and Weld 2. You have to decide on the Rail System/Barrel Nut before the pin and weld. AFAIK all gas blocks are too big for a barrel nut to fit over. Same goes for getting a gas block to go over a muzzle device. Most MDs are a good amount bigger in diameter than even a .750 GB. Using a GI barrel nut isn't too bad though. From what I can remember you can still use Troy Alphas and Bravos, Samson/Rainier Evos, Centurion C4s, and MI G2 Two Piece Rails. I'm sure there's a lot more that I missed too. |

That clears up my questions. Looks like I'll be deciding on what rail I want beforehand. |
