    Anyone have experience with these barrel makers?

    Anyone have experience with any of the following?:
    Black Hole Weaponry
    Nordic Components
    AR Performance

    This was buried in another thread so I wanted to see if I could get some yeas or nays. Thanks.

    Ive had a few nordic items, but didnt shoot the hell out of them. I was impressed none the less with what I have had/seen.
    Dont sweat the small stuff.


    If youre not taking fire, its all small stuff.

    black hole is semi local to me.. i've happened across their table while stocking up on ammo at the gun show. i was not impressed. they seem to be a typical gun-show style manfer- 1/9, unlined, H-bar, over-gassed, .223 chambering- all the shit you don't want.

    also, the workmanship was rough at best.. the odd assortment of POS barrels all looked like they'd been finished in a garbage disposal.

    that's my only experience with them. they have a big following on www.northwestfirearms.com right now, and are apparently a local favorite. so maybe there's something i'm missing.

    I have a Black Hole 16" bull barrel, 1/8, 3 gr polygonal rifled barrel and it shoots fantastic. I will be purchasing more from them in the future.

    Given some of the mixed stuff I have read there, I doubt you're missing anything.

    RE the OP: I'll stick with names I know are proven like BCM, DD, Sabre, Colt.
