The site also carries several other BA barrels and they are all on sale.  I have not done business with this vendor.  I just thought it was a good discount to post here.

Hmmm, thinking about selling my Rainier Ultramatch 18" SPR for that barrel.  Seems like a good shooter.

So here's an odd question:

Kreiger and a couple other barrel manufacturers don't make or recommend lightweight profile or deeply fluted 416r  barrels in cold climates, citing that if the steel as any sulfur stringing it might kaboom.  Granted, that isn't an issue for 99.995% of the site, but since I'm in Alaska I thought it was relevant to see what you guys think on that.

Mostly because that's exactly what I'd want in a barrel for my next build, but haven't been able to confirm/deny the above either.  Do you think that's a potential issue or ?  Worst case I'll look at a different barrel when I build a rifle, but was worth a shot to ask.

Any chance of a 16" nitride finish model?

@BallisticAdvantage any thoughts on the steel question?

Hi NorthPolar!

We are sorry to say that we don't have any information about the issue you mentioned- we do not have any extreme weather testing to prove otherwise.  That being said, it's completely up to your discretion.

Thank you,
Sarah

Thanks Sarah   Worst case, I'll likely be moving out of Alaska here soon so I can always pick up one then.

I think it was -20f or colder, but can't confirm.  Memory is pretty spotty these days.

Here ya go. I tested this new 18" barrel last week with my hand load, 55 gr Blitzking over 25.3 AA2460. 12x scope @ 100 yds, sandbags front and back.  5 shots group with 4 into 1 hole, the flier was most likely me.
