View Full Version : Forged or Standard Barrel?

I'm assembling a battle rifle not a target plinker. I am using all quality parts.

The difference in the standard and forged barrel is $100 and I'm very tempted to buy the forged.

I understand the forged should last longer and maybe give better accuracy.

They both use the same steel but I wonder if there's a difference in weight?

Can anyone one give me any advice or insight?

Thanks.

I think accuracy is debatable, but forged would last longer and be more durable. Spend the extra $$$ :D
