    The new run of 16" and 14.5" mid length gassed barrels have been changed to .075. The 14.5" carbine SOCOM profile barrels are ported at .062.

    There are many barrel makers in that price range, it strikes me as oddly specific that you make the comparison between BRT and Centurion.

    I don't really have a dog in this fight - I have 1 BRT barrel installed and my 18" 5.56 would have a Centurion barrel if Rainier didn't clearance their HF/CL Mountain barrels out for $150.

    The Rainier Mountain Series barrels are made by Either Criterion or FN, not Centurion.

    Please show me the data providing evidence that chrome lined is superior to nitrided.

    Please show me the data providing evidence that hammer forged is superior to button rifled.

    Well, if that was all I did, it was still more than you contributed.

    Yes, this is what Corrie related to me as well. When they switched to a new barrel maker (no longer FN) for this latest run, they transitioned to a .075 gas port.
