Noveske, Daniel Defense, or other? (CHF Barrel)

[MegademiC]

Can you source a Colt Canada barrel?

Im happy with my centurion 14.5 midlength. If I was in the market for 12.5 Id get a colt, or centurion (whichever was cheaper) and cut it down. A cut-down socom would be accurate, but might be a “waste of weight” due to your ammo choice.

Green tip and accuracy shouldn't be used in the same sentence!

Centurion 12.5

Also agree with cut down Colt SOCOM

I would have to buy a full rifle or a complete upper to get a Colt Canada Barrel. But I need to buy a couple of the same barrels just encase. In emergency situations, the trucks stop and I won't be able to buy things online. So I get multiples of the same item (Firing Pin, Bolts, Barrels, etc). Just extra insurance if anything decides to crap out on me.

I use Centurion Arms for the use you mention. My 12.5 CA barrel has seen a lot of use over the years and I doubt I’ll ever shoot it out. Solid accuracy and reliability. Not all CHF barrels are the same, not even the ones that come from the same manufacture.

In your opinion, how do FN CHF barrels match up with CA?

May I ask, what weight of buffer do you use? I've been trying to research it out but I'm finding all sorts of different opinions and responses. I'm aiming towards to Voltor A5 series. From what I see, the A5H0 and A5H2 are the most common used for 12.5.

Just picked up a Hodge 12.5 and have only functioned tested. It won’t lock back the bolt on the final round with an A5H0 buffer unsuppressed with wolf gold and Men M193. It will with Black Hills 77gr TMK. I need to change to a carbine system to use a broader ammo use.

Needless to say, if you want a small port, this has it.

That's hilarious. All the A5 guys would pile a special mix and match of springs and buffers until it barely ran and then claim that window of function is now wide open.

I have an adjustable gas block so I should be fine.

Noveske’s barrels are stupid overgassed, at least the 16” ones.

That seems to be the case with the 14.5" and 16" MLs I own. I literally just got done shooting the 16". I run it with a LMT enhanced carrier, FN bolt, and H2 buffer. Ejection is between 230-330. It's crazy accurate though for a CHF barrel.
