I have had nothing but good luck with my CMMG barrel, I have a 1/7 chrome lined 16" M4 upper from them. They are the best out there in my opinion. Every build I do from now on will have a CMMG barrel on them. Thanks Arvin

I have a 14.5", perm. phantom ff, 1/7" chromed CMMG upper. Looks great, shoots better. I liked it so much I bought another 20" C7A1 chrome upper.

Love mine (14.5").
No problems with any kind of feeding or function. Finish looks great. I can't honestly say I've ever done any serious benchrest shooting with mine, so can't comment on serious accuracy (bt that's also because I can't shoot worth a crap  ). But when benching other various 1/7 chrome lined barrels VS. other 1/9 barrels at 100 yards with 55 grain ammo (thanks Mousegun for doing the shooting  ), I couldn't tell any difference. So if barrel twist is your concern, I doubt it will affect it much at fairly close range.Honestly, I don't think you could do wrong by a CMMG barrel/upper. |

well seems like I always put my 2 cents worth in on these, helps to the post count. there my favorite upper. I have 3 of them I love that there chrome lined. feed anything, I mean anything. cleanup nice and do very nice groups. I will be picking up 2 more uppers for 2 more projects. CMMG is the ONLY people I deal with for ar stuff. Ronald

I've got one of CMMG's 16", 1/7 barrels with over 8000 rounds through it and so far it's been flawless even with Wolf ammo! I wouldn't hesitate to get another one, in fact I'm getting one their mid-length 16" barrels that being offered through Giffman's group buy in the Equipment Exchange forum...

I have a couple of them and I'm extremely satisfied
 My 14.5" has over 6000 rounds through it now. In fact, I won the rifle competition with it at BRD last month! So it's not only a great M4 barrel but is very accurate to boot. |

CMMG's stuff is awesome! I've got around 10 of their 1/7 chrome-lined barrels in different configs and they run great on my M16. John and Jeff are awesome!

I have a CMMG 16" M4 barrel and have had no problems with it's reliability. On the down side I have noticed that it is not as accurate at my Bushmaster 16" M4 barrel at 100 yards. The Bushmaster is a 1.25" - 1.5" MOA barrel while the CMMG barrel is a solid 2" - 2.25" MOA barrel.

i have a CMMG 14.5' 1/7 chrome lined. i bought mine when they first got them maybe almost 2 years ago. back then it was said that they were DPMS overruns for a government contract bid. DPMS didnt get the contract and sold off the barrels. now it appears ot be a regular production item. i love it. some will say they dont like the cast FSB (if its really cast) but i would put mine up against a Colt or Bushy anyday. excellent for a parts built M4. my rifle is:
CMMG M4 barrel T-numbered flattop upper from a gunshow Bushmaster BCG with D-fender Bushmaster LPK Century lower (made by continental machine) Cav Arms M4 stock (green) Cav Arms M4 handguard (green) Hogue green grip |

Scuttlebutt is that older barrels were DPMS-made and had cast FSB's. Now, CMMG barrels are supposedly not DPMS barrels, but an entity all their own. Forged FSB on these new ones, too. Can anyone confirm that? |

Yes, all their barrels now have a forged front sight base. Consider it confirmed

Any idea who makes CMMG barrels?

I'm guessing that's a tightly held secret.

Larry - Generally the manufacture is kept semi-secret so you may not find the answer you are looking for. Keep in mind that there are only a few places make barrels, forge uppers and lowers, etc so a lot of the same folks use parts from the same places.

For about $75.00 ADCO would remove your brake and perm install a Phantom. Much cheaper than a complete rebarrel. |
