CLOSED MONSTER 20 Barrel $149 + $12 = $161

[A5BLASTER]

Any idea of weight of theses barrels?

20 inch is just over 2 pounds, think it was 2.2 pounds is what BFT said the 20 inch came in at per weight.

Any idea of weight of theses barrels?

From the original thread announcing the group buys.

Endyo, weight of 16 is 2.0 lbs and 20 is 2.4 lbs.

Are these Match barrels? Target crowned etc?

I consider these the equal of more expensive Faxon and Ballistic Advantage barrels, being very familiar with Faxon barrels, for example, having been the one who first got Faxon into the Grendel world.

However, at a price of $149 for the Monster 20, no I would not consider them "match" barrels on the level of Krieger or Bartlein.

Muzzle has an 11 degree crown.

Do these use rifle length gas tubes?

Do these use rifle length gas tubes?

Yes they do.
The barrel is thinner at the muzzle than I was hoping for. Still looks good, hopefully it'll shoot good whenever I get the rifle finished.

Received my barrel today. It looks good to me, I like the taper of the barrel. It should shoot well without weighing a lot.
Was shipped fast & well packaged.

Barrel came in today looks great.

BluntForceTrauma,

Do you still have some of the Monster 20 barrels available for sale? I like the fact that these have a SAAMI chamber.

Is this the same as Grendel type 2? Please educate me if I am using incorrect terminology here.

I am a new member to this forum and want to complete a build in 6.5 Grendel that will be accurate within 1 MOA or better.

I was looking at Satern barrels because they came with a matching head spaced bolt. However, I am hearing that Satern's barrels are not SAAMI. They are also more expensive.

Any advice you can give would be hugely appreciated. I look forward to your replies. I can't get outlook to connect me to your email address.

Thanks,
North Florida

North Florida, welcome to the forum.

You will find that if a group buy thread starts with "OPEN" the items are still available.

Also these take Mk136 bolts formerly known as type 2.

As far as advice there is a ton here on these forums.

BluntForceTrauma,

I sent you an email with a few questions and all the requirements that you listed here regarding the barrel group buy.
Who manufactures these barrels? I was unable to find Monster Barrels on the internet.

North Florida
