Accuracy Evaluation of a Noveske 16” N4 Light Barrel

[tanktop]

Pac-Nor used to have a link to Noveske on their website. I think that was only their SS barrels.

Molon,

Is this the same barrel as tested in your earlier post?:

We all should know that no 2 barrels are the same, but what are your thoughts on the different results for the same barrel?

Great evaluation Molon. I always enjoy your input and it's really good to see you back.

Although my firearm setups aren't precision rigs like you used for your evaluation, the Noveske N4s I own shoot 1.25-1.50 very consistently with almost any quality ammo.
One has over 7k rounds through it and shoots as good as the day I bought it.

Same barrel, same test, same results ... just more details and data posted for this thread.

Great test, as always.

I want to eco another memeber and ask: "how much do profile/harmonics" play a part?

I want to see the same test conducted after 5000 rounds through the barrel.

Wow! Almost one big hole. That 80 shot overlay is incredible.

Have you tested other barrels?

I've got a 16" DD middy and now I'm wondering if the N4 would be a "better" (read more accurate) choice. Or would it be more of a dog chasing his tail to switch?...

Nice review. Thanks.
