Has anyone done any accuracy testing on the Geissele nitrided or chrome lined barrels? (Geissele barrels, not DD barrels in Geissele uppers).

There was some talk on Instagram that someone got a 5-12" group at 100 yards with theirs. I saw the photos, I am trying to track them down. Hard to separate the truth from made up internet BS though, and Bill has a ton of people on forums that dislike him (I am not one of them, I have tons of G products.). I'll keep digging for info

If you have Instagram check out a citizen Arms. They got their hands on one or two and the groups were stellar. I can post a direct link since I don’t do IG.
AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

Also would to see someone, anyone, else shoot the gun and ammo to see if it repeats.
“Someone on IG” has basically become “my uncle’s buddy’s friend”.

Don't get me wrong, with Geissele's massive expansion into full weapons, mounts, barrels, optics, and coffee there are likely to be issues that crop up.
But considering they haven't sold out to Freedom Group, I think they will continue to put out quality products in nearly everything they decide to make (or have made for them). The Black Friday $hit show and subsequent delivery / order issues are obviously a black eye to them, but any successful and popular company is going to have enemies who want to make them look bad. Everyone puts out a lemon from time to time and the critical issue about legitimate ones is how they are dealt with.
Many gun buyers aren't shooters and can't hit much past a pie plate beyond 100 yards. They shoot crappy ammo, with improperly mounted crappy optics, through guns of varying quality. Some have great stuff and just don't know how to shoot properly. And every possible combination in between from moronic mouth-breather to quiet professional gunslinger, there is a bell curve with many over stating how good they really are.

A few good reports in their industry forum on TOS.

Seeing around MOA on TOS. For what it is worth Bill G commented on one of the threads and said they were getting moa ish on both the nitride and chf with mk262 ammo. He said the stainless limited edition ones they did might have more accuracy potential than most if hand loaded.
I was really close to pulling the trigger on a super duty rifle during their black Friday sale. At this point I am glad I didn't. They really overextended themselves and things are turning into a shit show. People that did get stuff are reporting lots of QC issues. At this point I am holding off and may consider one after all the shit settles

There was a guy that posted photos in the Geissele FB group and he was getting 4" groups at 50 yards with XM193. He didn't come across as a troll.
At best they have some consistency problems it sounds like. Glad I just ordered triggers and charging handles.
