FYI... I'm looking for a barrel that can shoot 1/4 to 1/2 MOA [red]with[/red] Factory Ammo. I plan on reloading to further fine tune the barrel. But the first obsticle is the barrel.

I would, and did, go with the Oly SUM. The other barrels are great, but the SUM fits everything for me. I'm not sure you will get much to shoot 1/4 with factory, unless you are testing a lot of different factory loads. Everyone I know who expects 1/4 groups expects special loadings.
Good luck, and let us know how it works out. |

I used a 6.5mm Krieger barrel on a 1000yd benchrest rifle - had no regrets. I have never heard anyone say they got a bad one.

Barry at Metalcraft is just great and gives great service and quality.
Does anybody have any experience with AR15barrels? Looks great, but who is it? I'm real tempted by a .17 Stainless 20"..... Thanks |

You might take a look at Wilson's match grade barrels. I bought one from RRA and installed it myself. With my handloads (69 gr. 75 gr. or 77 gr.) is regularly shoots less than 1/2 moa. It's about 1/2 the cost of the other barrels you mention.

cnatra:
Shilen... at least there site appears not to have a barrel for the AR... I'l try to contact them later... Also ... Now I'm really confused [whacko].. Shilen claims that Cryo has no benefit to the barrel... [argue] ... while everyone else has scientific fact that proves that it does... nvcdl: What are your 1000yds group sizes??? I was thinking of getting another rifle after i finish with this one??? All: Thanks... everyone for resopnding... I think I will go with my first choice... the Krieger, unless someone tells me that they had one blow up in thier face or any other persuading fact... One last question (I think)... Who has the best price for the Krieger??? Or should I get it directly from the manufacture??? |

I'm 90% sure [url]www.vandenbergcustom.com[/url] uses Shilen for most of his rifles including AR's, he's in the Houston area. You can't go wrong with Krieger ! Barry at [url]www.metalcraft-ar15.com[/url] sells Kriegers with his custom stainless gas block ready to go in 18-26" lengths, that's what I have. I'm pretty sure he gets the blanks & turns them down on a lathe himself so he could probably make whatever you want. [url]www.compasslake.com[/url] has an excellent reputation for customizing AR's & they use Krieger barrels. Clint McKee of [url]www.fulton-armory.com/Barrels2.htm[/url] uses Krieger barrels on his custom AR15's, M1A's & Garand's [url]www.kriegerbarrels.com[/url] |

Ah yes, the dreaded cryo-issue. Read what Armalite says about Cryo in their Technical updates located on their web-site/
