CMMG/Clint Beyer 5" .22LR

Clint Beyer sent me a barrel to try out on my CMMG Evolution upper.
The barrel is very light weight. It utilizes an aluminum body with a steel liner. Very well made. Very slick looking.
Clint will be offering fluted barrels in the same configuration (aluminum body and steel liner) Beautiful!

I took the upper to break the barrel in today. More to get an idea than for precision results. I didn’t take my camera.
I was shooting Fed Bulk and Winchester Bulk copper wash 36 gr. HP’s.
Also using a UTG 4X scope.
After some rounds getting the scope dialed in I fired for more precision.
Shooting at 25 yards, I was shooting groups with the rounds touching on the target. Of course, using the bulk pack, I had fliers. But It shot consistantly enough to show me it’s a very capable barrel.
I’ll be shooting some Wolf MT next time.
Very impressive if you are looking for a super accurate, very short barrelled .22 upper
It kept the bulk pack subsonic 90% of the time.
Quick Pics:

Very nice. Any chance for 16" or longer barrels in the future from Clint?

Clint makes pretty much any barrel length you would want, including fluted.
Another tester has reported groups of .25 groups at 25 yards with his 16" CB barrel.
CMMG also offers builds with a link to Clints site for custom barrels

That’s a neat little package. I had considered chopping down an M&P 15-22 before but this gives me another option.

Nice rig, Dave- thanks for the heads up. WB

You can go a less expensive route.
CMMG just released their 6.5" .22 LR 1/16 barrels.
Uppers soon to follow.
My test 6.5" upper was flawless and accuracy was pretty good.

I finally got some Wolf MT.
As I thought, the little 5" Clint Beyer barrel will shoot., so long as I do my part.
25 yards
You can see I was dialing in some but you can also see what the barrel is capable of.

Nice!

What size is the hand guard and how much of the can is sticking out the front. I’m looking to build something similar.

The Hand guard is a Midwest Industries T-Series 7" So about 2" of suppressor sticking out the end.
