Nicely done X. Nicely done indeed. Hey. Speaking of the PIF. You remember those tactical gloves - the rappelling ones? Well my son wears them now when we shoot and train. He’s grown into them over the past what…3 years?? Anyway I remember the deal back when we did a PIF/E&E deal on those. I still appreciate it…
But nice build and solid components. I think you’re going to be happy with the performance on your BA barrel. I ran the same one on my SPR and it was VERY accurate.
Be sure to post up a range report. I’d like to see if you get similar results as I did.
This thread is old but at least it is this year. I built a 20" Rifle with a Colt 1/9 HB and a YHM FF handguard. Has a NIKON 3-12 BDC AR scope. It shoots great out to 550 yards even with factory ammo. I have been wanting to build a similar with that same BA 18" SPR barrel. How does that barrel shoot?
Hey there! Was scrolling through and saw this post, and since I have this barrel, I thought I’d answer.
I regularly shoot mine out to 840 yards, hitting a 12" target or a man sized target. It’s a fantastic barrel, and is well worth the money. I think i got mine on sale for like… $120?
