Green Mountain AR-15 Barrels?
Hey guys,
I have recently received a "20,1:8, gov profile barrel from Green Mountain. These folks are pretty well known for making Ruger 10/22 barrels and Barrels for for blackpowder rifles and pistols.
The barrel was ordered by one of my clients and shipped direct to me for assembly of an upper. I won't be anything special or "tacticool". It will be a pretty plain jane build.
GM 20" 1:8 gov profile barrel
Midwest Industries 15" SS tube
Spikes Receiver
BCM BCG ( i'll be head spacing it of course)
A.R.M.S. 71L buis
Not sure what optic he's going to go with.. I'll add that later.
The reason I am bringing it to you attention is that it is VERY reasonably priced and apparently worth a look see from all I've read about them.
I'll post pics and a range report on this build in the near future.
(yes, yes, I finally got a digital camera)
Regards,
TJ

Nice barrel for the money
I just assembled a rifle for a buddy with a Green Mountain 16" fluted 1/7 barrel, a S&W lower, Vltor MUR upper, Troy MRF-MX rail and a Spikes BCG. It seems like a nice barrel. Light weight and the machining and finish look great. Accuracy was as good as one could expect from a 16" barrel with cheap ammo. There is a nice recessed crown hiding under the flash hider. It is markeed 5.56 but I can not say for certain if it is as I have no way of checking it. It functioned flawlessly through 200 rounds of Federal .223 55gr fmj during its first trip to the range after being put together. My buddy was pretty happy with it. I went ahead and ordered another one for a lightweight build of my own.
