BRT OPTIMUM Barrels

[opngrnd]

Velocity from the 12.5" will be very interesting if it has polygonal rifling. I like my 16" MPR for that aspect.

For 300BLK, currently looking at 9" and 11.5" 3
with the tapered shoulders for suppressor use.

The PDW gas system should allow the 11.5" to run like the 9" pistol and work with a 10"-10.5" handguard.

It will be interesting to see what you come up with for 300BLK barrels. I assume dedicated suppressed barrels are part of the overall plan?

On a related note; how does the intermediate/277 WLV gas system work on the 300?

Would the potentially lighter 11.5 CAR have polygonal rifling and 1/2x28 threads?

Yes,

We'll be doing some more of the 14.0 MID, a "do it all " 12.5 with EXC (should do well with and without a mini can) and maybe a light(er) profile 11.5 CAR.

We've gotten a good amount of interest in the tapered shoulders and will likely expand the offerings with that option.

Also looking into 300BLK.

Any general ETA on the 14.0 barrels?

I was thinking about picking up on of the 14.5s but wouldn’t mind holding off a bit.

Clint,

I'd like a pistol gas 300 BLK barrel that the length is such that the handguard cap for carbine length handguards can be held in place by the muzzle device. Magpul Slimline handguards could be installed and partially cover the suppressor for less money than a free float tube.

Clint were the previous 14” barrels you guys made and sold midlength? I have one and can’t remember, i had a gunsmith put it together

[Clint]

Yes, the 14.0 were/are MID gas.

It's cool to have lower cost hand guard options.

Torquing the muzzle device directly against the hand guard cap causes it to spin and is a bit of a pain to line up.

We like using an extra gas block or spacer from the muzzle device to locate the gas block.\


How important is subsonic operation?

There may be a use case for supersonic only, suppressed or unsuppressed.

The 14.0 are going to be a while.

14.5 are in stock and shipping now.
