Now THIS is a barrel worth looking at! - ThomasA - 01-06-2012

My good friend gave me the hand guard as a congrats for joining the USAF so I decided to make it a build worth building. I figured a plain old stainless bull barrel would look boring. Plus it was heavy as heck. I think it dropped about a pound with the fluting. The front 1.5" was turned down to fit the MB68AR brake. Barrel is a 24" BHW.

Congrats brother! I was an SP a long time ago also. Nice looking upper, and I hope she shoots like a dream for you! Keep us updated, and where did you get orders to?

beauty, no wonder you dont have any quarters left!

Now THIS is a barrel worth looking at! - ThomasA - 01-06-2012

I'm stationed at Tinker. There's a 400yd range not far from here where I plan on breakin this thing in.

The freakin quarter thing was a gift from my mom. I dont have the heart to throw it away, but the quarters are in a box. lol

Samson Evolution. Really nice rail. Similar in design to the Troy TRX (Which I have on my carbine) but I actually think the Samson is a little better in it's attachment method.

Nice barrel and rail - "almost" too pretty to shoot Wink

I like the looks of spiral fluted barrels as well, and the handling/weight improvement has to be felt to be appreciated. Looking forward to a range report.

It'll probably look nicer when that brake is covered by a suppressor.

Cool, I'm hoping this turns into a seriously sweet shooting rig! Big Grin

All those parts sound very familiar Thomas lol. Gonna be a good looking rifle. Should be a good shooting stick.
