Interesting barrel profile.

Is it?

This is what I’ve thought would be a good idea, as a non-engineer, for a while. Basically, it’s a pencil profile except for a ton of extra mass near the chamber. For a “combat barrel,” this seems to make sense to me, though I wonder if a simple pencil is just as good for less weight. For anything precision, I’m going to guess that it is inherently less precise than a Hanson or Core tapered profile.

So yes and no, if I were to guess.

Looks like a bit more extreme version of this:IMG_6625.jpeg Also reminds me of Faxon Gunner, Hodge, and the Criterion-made barrel for Midwest.

I've been enjoying tapered barrels. I ran an 18" Criterion Core barrel for 3Gun last year. I do wonder how much is too much, but it hasn't been a problem yet.

I do not own, but have heard from someone that I have big respect for, that they are very good barrels. Durable with long service life.

One of the many good things about SOLGW is they T&E and do their own destructive testing before releasing new products.

Glad a lot of companies are making tapered barrels ADM had my favorite one but they stopped making it.
