yep, longer throat. 11" twist would be better but I think Ko tonics(shaw) and WOA(Wilson) are the only ones that make 11 twist barrels. They will not say whose blanks they use so I'm betting it's Adams and Bennet.
I am not impressed with their barrels but, I use their upper and lower receivers and have never had an issue with any of their parts. |

We use a 1x11 twist on our 20" barrels and a 1x10 on the 16"

what dop you guys use for chambers? are they improved, or do i have to do that myself?? how much would it be for a 20 inch 1/11 twist barrel assembly? i want a 16, or 18inch, but i can always cut down and re-crown. thanks, brian p.s. how much longer is the improved chamber throte? |

Back to brian's original question? I'm interested myself... although I am a fan of DPMS; have had many of their rifles and loved them all...and kinda like most women of my past....got rid of them too.  Now I am looking at the DPMS 6.8 and would love to know more about personal experiences with "out of the box" accuracy, function, etc. If anyone has one let me know. Thanks again! T2Dawg |

BTW Jason, does DPMS still use any Green Mountain barrels? I had an awesome Match 24" fluted bull w/ lo-pro upper that I built using one of your barrels and was told it was a green Mt... That thing would shoot sub - half moa! And like a dummy, I looked to greener pastures and let it go... take care, T2Dawg |
