    You’re making me regret my decision...

    You can come down and shoot the 12.5s any time you would like! Don't know if that makes it any better but I appreciate you selling me one. It's in a good home!

    My 12.5 centurion barrel I have is my absolute favorite gun to shoot suppressed. How is the recce barrel ported? Minimal blowback in the face? Seriously looking at one of these recce barrels for my next build.

    The Recce is a little heavier gassed then I would like. .079 if I remember correctly. I don't notice any gas to face in the 60 rounds of Mk262 rounds I have put through it with Surefire mini. And a slow pace of fire. I am using a sprinco green and A5H3 and I am able to stay on target to see my hits at 500 on a 10 inch plate with the scope on 12or so mag. If I wasn't going to keep the Centurion GB with the index slot, I would be using a gas block insert with a smaller port.

    This thing just shoots though. 4 different shooters at 500 yards. Dialing 3.1 mils for the conditions of the day, and no one missed the 10" plate even once. We had about .5 mil of wind and was grouping 3-5 in a row within a few inches on the gong. Some we're touching. Pending the shooter, we were seeing under 1inch groups.

    Damn, thats a little disappointing since their 12.5in barrels are so well ported. Even suppressed with my rc2 my 12.5 is one of the softest shooters ive ever used or shot. Was hoping this barrel would be similarly ported for a ML barrel. Glad you like it. Still might end up grabbing one and maybe putting a BRT ported gas block on it.

    Yes, this is what I would recommend personally. It is for sure not the optimal port size for a 14.5 mid gas.

    I agree on the 12.5. Have a few and also shoot them with Surefire mini and full-size cans and are the best, short of small port chop down builds..
