Gentlemen, Warriors, and Vile Unwashed Masses of the Grendel Horde, MONSTER 12 barrels are now back in stock.

Like the Berserkers of old, these nasty little barrels stop at nothing!

THERE. IS. NOT. A. BETTER. DEAL. OUT. THERE.

Black nitrided chrome-moly-vanadium (CMV) steel for all-weather durability.

Tactical and hunting profile shaves weight where not needed and keeps it where it does the most good — near the chamber to help put the center of gravity close to the weapon's center of mass so it handles like a much lighter barrel. The "bull" barrel section near the chamber — effectively making it behave like a shorter, stiffer barrel — also stiffens the barrel for accuracy. This also puts more steel closest to the operator in the event of — God forbid! — a catastrophic cartridge failure. Barrel weight: 1 lb 8.6 oz.

M4-style barrel extension, slick nitrided.

Rifling is 1:7.5 twist 5R Hybrid with the edges of the 5 lands at a steeper angle than traditional 5R — for a better bite on the chronically undersized Wolf steel-case bullet — but still retaining the ease of cleaning and the more gentle bullet engraving of 5R. Rifling is our Easy Engraving reduced-height lands for less bullet deformation and less friction down the bore.

Chamber is a SAAMI Hybrid, which means all specs are SAAMI — including the compound throat — but the case neck has been tightened slightly for better accuracy while maintaining reliability.

Muzzle threads are 5/8-24.

Price? Nobody can touch it. You get Ballistic Advantage or Faxon quality for a Bear Creek Armory price. OK, well, not quite the bottom basement price of some Bear Creek barrels, but there is NO WAY you get this list of features and innovation anywhere for this price.

$133 plus shipping.

Cool Grendel "Skull" logo at the muzzle. 'Nuff sed. Cool

TO ORDER, go to my website at SixFiveArms.com.

NOTE: If you are not building a pistol, but intend to build a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) all NFA regulations apply.

Got my barrel and bolt today BFT. They look great! I need to decide on the rest of my parts but looking forward to finishing this upper!

Is there a break in procedure you recommend for the new barrel?


See new monster 12 thread - BluntForceTrauma - 03-11-2020

Seems everybody has a theory — and all the pro shooters and "experts" disagree among themselves — about break-in procedures, so, no, I don't have any recommendations that are specific to these barrels.

Use the break-in procedure that makes the most sense to you.

Thanks BFT for the 12" barrel and bolt.....received as expected and looks great....Now to the build


See new monster 12 thread - Slowfatguy - 04-14-2020

BFT. Received barrel and bolt. Thanks again. You made the process very easy. Barrel and bolt look good. Next up is gas block, carrier group and stock/buffer system. Any suggestions that work best with a 12” Grendel?


See new monster 12 thread - BluntForceTrauma - 04-15-2020

Nothing different for my 12s than 16, 18, and 20.

Gas block is your choice. I prefer clamp-on models like the Vltor.

Any standard BCG works.

These are also meant to work with a standard carbine buffer.


See new monster 12 thread - BluntForceTrauma - 04-16-2020

U P D A T E : As of today, only THREE MONSTER 12s left in stock.

More on order....

Are you going to get any other lengths in or just the 12"?


See new monster 12 thread - BluntForceTrauma - 04-17-2020

Yes, will be restocking my other lengths: 16, 18, and 20 in their turns.

What do you vote for? Cool


See new monster 12 thread - Hickory Nut - 04-17-2020

I have a 16" from the group buy on the way but it will be months before it gets here. That being said 16" or 18" would round out my collection. I really enjoyed putting the Monster 12" together though. It was much easier than expected and shoots great!


See new monster 12 thread - rabiddawg - 04-17-2020

I vote 16” I need 3 of them


See new monster 12 thread - Oldbev - 04-19-2020

Could use another 12monster , cause what good is just one? Any idea when back in stock?


See new monster 12 thread - Hickory Nut - 04-19-2020

I agree, just give us something that is accurate as the 12" I just got. I don't care what length it is. I will make it work!


See new monster 12 thread - am4966 - 05-01-2020

Oh my need a 12”-12.5” barrel, when are they coming back in stock and how does these barrels shoot?


See new monster 12 thread - BluntForceTrauma - 05-02-2020

These barrels are the technical equivalent of a Faxon or Ballistic Advantage, but at a very aggressive Horde price.

And they keep getting better: Going forward new batches of 12s and 16s will have a more-optimum 1:7.5 twist. I am also improving the rifling specification on all MONSTER barrels to work better with Wolf ammo. Gonna be my best barrels yet!

They are currently in production so it's gonna be two months plus black nitriding. Everything is sold out and all the manufacturers are backlogged!

BFT, Your a great salesman. I'm in for a new barrel. Dave.
