Yes, bruin, if I should luck upon such a barrel I will def let yall here know.
26Inf- Thanks for the thumbs up on Green Mtn. I actually looked at that barrel you have..which brings more questions. As for the WYLDE chamber..ive seen warnings on shooting 69/75gr 5.56 IMI and other 5.56 loads out of this chamber. SG AMMO has, or had, such a warning for this ammo on its website. CAN ANY 5.56 NATO load be safely fired in a WYLDE? The 69/75 gr loads were two I planned on using extensively. For PURE accuracy..WYLDE or 5.56 chamber?
Thrasos- As for wanting 4150...Im flexible on this. I know how good that steel is, and simply thought Id go with it for familiarity. Im still trying to find the difference between 416R & 410 SS, as which is better for both accuracy & durability. Pro's & con's of each I suppose you could say.
I am a little shocked that I cant find a CHF Nitrided barrel...but Im open to ideas and suggestions of course.
The rifle is MY culmination of years of wanting a 20" gun. I love rifles...loooong barreled rifles. Bolt guns to single shot buffalo guns..I just love rifles. I ve got two carbines..so thats covered. The rifle will be used for varmints, targets and "whatnot" out to 500-700 yards. Itll be scoped with either a 10x Super Sniper or hopefully a 4.5X14 Leupold. Ammo will not be M193 or M855...just good ammo like 62/64gr Gold dots, Federal Fusion, IMI 69/75gr Sniper loads, ect.
So, knowing this..and Im FIRM on it being 20"..flexible on the rest...yall hit me up with thoughts & ideas. Thanks so much!
