These are the same barrels (M4 profile 16") as the uppers. No stainless option.
Who makes the barrels, respond from White River Armory is:
As for the barrels, we have a national company make them for us to our specifications.
A couple of questions please:
What is the advantage of getting the 1/8 twist over the 1/7?
What are the reasons to spring for the stainless barrel?
What is the price/make for the BCG and CH if purchased with the upper?
When is the deadline to order?
Thanks.
I did a bit of looking around and came up with the following:
1/7 twist better for heavy subsonic and 1/8 more accurate for lighter projectiles.
Stainless more accurate but give up some service life of the barrel.
This internet thing is gonna be big - mark my words.
Help me out here. Humor me.Quote:

<<<<<< is not a expert. It's been my experience that 1 in 8 Is good up to 220 grain. The Berger 230 and Sierra 240 seem to do better in 1 in 7. The most accurate bullets that I've found are the barnes 110 grain tac-tx fb followed by the Sierra 125 grain pro hunter. I find this to be true in both my ARs and bolt guns.Naturally the barnes made for the BLK is expensive and hard to find.
Its a stripped barrel with a barrel extension installed. I believe carbine, I will get more pics and data.Quote:
