AR Barrel Length Question

[turnerdye1]

anybody on the gauging tool?

still looking for options on rails/guards

What I am saying is a 20" Govt profile Skinny barrel with plastic handguards will have alot more flex and decrease in accuracy vs a aluminum rail system that strengthens the barrel with defined enhancement of accuracy. I have proved this multiple times on both military and civilian ranges. As for the money there is nothing wrong with utg. I have shot 3 rd 2" groups at 300yds and held a 12"x12" every shot pattern on steel plates at 600 yds using 69gr Privi Partizan with a grip pod and utg rail! I would never of upgraded to a better rail but I got a Knight M5 rail new in the wrapper for 50.00. Oh BTW the M5 rail was warped from the factory and required gunsmithing. Im not impressed with the KAC M5.

If you have 150 dollars to throw go for a better rail if not get what you can. As for free floating a govt profile barrel IDK, its a LONG skinny barrel and I think it would flex alot free floated.

What you are saying may be your experiance but it is 100% opposite the accepted norms regarding accuracy.

well either way this doesnt isnt going to work. the guy backed out on the trade so im just planning on keeping my 16" and going the carbine route

That sucks! Two of my brothers have FN 20" upppers and they shoot great! I should have bought one as well when I had the chance.

well i actually backed out on him because he was acting kinda sketchy about the whole thing. i asked him about the erosion then he was trying to get me to ship first. it just seemed like a bad idea so i backed out

Well I hope I didn't ruin your deal. But the TE on surplus barrels is a legitimate concern. A gauge cost's 12.00

nah its fine...im just gonna keep my carbine length stuff and go that route... probably get a primary arms red dot
