    Supposedly Rainier's Mountain Series barrels are made by FN to Rainiers specs... well they just went up in price ~$75... wonder if this has something to do with it?

    I've noticed over the last year or so that CHF barrels from PSA are getting rarer and rarer. I wonder if they're going to stop supplying PSA with these identical barrels now?
    I thought MPI was sort of useless without HPT... Then again, I'm no expert.

    Purchased my FN 15 rifle early this year and very happy with the quality and actually surprised how accurate it is with original barrel. No ar expert but what's the difference between the new barrels being offered compared to current fn line rifles? Would it be as accurate as the current rifles?

    I have a FSB FN 18-inch barrel with about 500 rounds through it that I use for pleasure shooting. It is accurate and consistent. Off a sandbag rest and with the same handloads, at 100 yards the difference among it and my BCM and Colt 20-inch guns is fractions of an inch. None of them are free-floated. Obviously, a mechanical shooting rest would tell a better story but, for me, the point is moot. YMMV.
