    So that jackass on TOS is going to shoot a few individual barrels for groups, evaluate the size of said groups, and then try to make a determination on if there's a difference in quality between the various FN supplied barrels? And people are thanking him for this "service?" I want a lobotomy.

    God help us if his flinching / trigger yanking session by chance turns in significantly smaller groups with a certain barrel. It'll be at least 12 months of "well PSA barrels are more accurate than Centurion barrels duh everybody knows that." Jesus.

    I read that thread over there, I think it's an interesting thought to ponder, but I don't think they're gonna definitively answer any questions.

    The guy is enthusiastic, but I don't think he has the equipment, knoweledge, skill or experience to evaluate the quality of the barrels.

    It sounds like he's gonna toss a few reloads downrange and see which one is the most accurate. We'll see what happens. I'm betting he's gonna turn out to be a 2-3.5 MOA shooter and is gonna say all the barrels are the same, and accuse Noveske and Centurion of ripping people off...

    No doubt that this is completely retarded, but that's the norm for that site.

    They are going to clean the barrel in between each type of ammo shot. Then shoot "fouling shots" to clean up any solvent.

    The OP, evlblkwpnz, actually has videos up on youtube. I accidentally stumbled onto one a few days ago.

    Thanks. I wasn't trying to discredit you, but as you stated, that thread is long and full of BS. I also read the entire thing, but the OP's crusade-like attitude makes it hard to digest. He is clearyly pissed because he "knows" he spent more for the same thing.

    Absolutely, and I didn't take it as such, so don't worry about it. I realized after I posted it, that someone was going to ask me to find it. I was already searching for it as you typed up your post. It's a very tiny post in a thread full of crap and I'm glad it only took me a couple minutes to find it.

    The whole entire thread is full of the OP's emotionally charged remarks. Then you see that he slowly has to retract every single BS remark he made. He says he will never buy Centurion again and goes berserk over the chopped barrel, then changes his mind after talking to Monty. G'Damn buffoon.

    I would hope FN holds the TDP for the weapon they invented.

    It really bothers me that people don't realize their dumbass comments can affect people's livelihoods. Careless words, especially on the internet, can take money out of good people's pockets for no reason.

    I am an amateur! I retain many facts while I'm reading, but some of those things just slip past me.

    I'm relatively new and unschooled when it comes to firearms history.

    From what I know yes FN sells hammer forged .224" and .308" barrel blanks to a lot of barrel/rifle manufacturers. These are chrome lined 11595-E barrel steel with chroming generally thicker than chrome lined barrels made by other manufacturers. In my experience most barrels made from these FN blanks exhibit accuracy which is only rivaled by some stainless match grade barrels.

    I was under the impression Centurion made their own barrels using the FN formula utilized in M240 barrels. They have their own contour and such, too, which would imply something, right?

    I guess I could always ask Monty, but I don't wanna bug him.
