JP Supermatch barrels!

[rcvisket]

Called JP this morning to insure my barrel had shipped and they informed me that they have JP super match barrels in stock...Just so everyone knows. Maybe Satern and krieger can lower their prices now

After reading JP's web page it did not sound like they would sell just a Grendel barrel and only wanted to sell the upper or full rifle to to the performance of the round. So they sold you just the barrel? How much?

JP sells their barrels for $799 Satern sells theirs for $568 Fluted. Kreiger is $340 + $100 for chambering and crowning. How does JP selling their barrels for more compel the others to reduce their prices?

The barrel kit is 800 no lie. but the barrel/bolt is 6. and to be honest i already have my comp and my jp adj gas system already so i didnt need the barrel. The more competition the better

I copied this from JP's site.

JPSM6.5G-22M8

Manufactured to our exacting specifications and used in all of our rifles, JP Supermatch™ barrels are turned from 416 stainless steel, lead lapped, air-gauged and cryogenically treated for cold bore shot predictability, minimum thermal drift, outstanding accuracy and extended barrel life. All barrels also include a bolt individually head-spaced to the barrel for flawless fit and function.

Diameter at gas block: .936
Muzzle threads: 5/8-24tpi

Their barrel & bolt combo is $550. The $800 option adds the following.

JPSM6.5G-22M8K
6.5 Grendel chamber medium contour barrel kit, 22" length.

Just the barrel is pretty much the same price as the Satern. They both have features that give the purchaser a choice between cut and hand lapped rifling vs. button rifling & cryo treating, etc.
