BRT 16" OPTIMUM Barrel w/ Extended Length Gas System

[BufordTJustice]

Here is a build I just put together for my brother using the BRT Optimum Barrel. I know he is going to love it.

Very nice!!! EFAB or AFAB on the muzzle?

Also, wedgelock HG?

Precision Armament AFAB on the muzzle and Hodge Defense Systems Wedge Lock Rail handguard. The BRT gas block has plenty of clearance inside the Hodge handguard.

Very slick!! Big fan of Jim Hodge here.

Your brother is one lucky man!

So has anyone managed to shoot some groups with these barrels yet?

This week, hopefully. Work schedule permitting.

I did a quick sight in. 1"-1.5" at 50 yards using iron sights and 55gr reloads. Some groups might have been up to 2". It was cold, the windchill was getting to me and I was in a hurry, so maybe I'd do better with better ammo and more time. Attachment 43735

Also, I'm not good at pictures...

I use a lot of Russian steel cased ammo such as Barnaul/Wolf for training. Does anyone know if this barrel will cycle this ammo?

In Post #70 I believe Clint recommends dropping the buffer weight with Wolf. IIRC, he also didn't recommend Tula. Since I know I'll end up with PMC Bronze being shot through mine by others and possibly myself, I sent him the parts for my upper and he did whatever was needed for that to work when he assembled it.

Awesome, thanks!
