Have a Lilja barrel??? How does it shoot?

[HoodRich]

Just like the title says... I’m looking for accuracy reports on the Lilja barrels. I can’t find hardly any reports good or bad on them, but I guess no news is better than bad news. I’m particularly looking for some real world reports on the 12.5” but would like to hear about Any Lilja barrels you have and how they shoot.

Ive never seen anything but very good reports and they are all over this forum. Search function should find tons of them.

Don’t own one.And never seen a 12.5 inch Lilja.But I have acquaintances at the club that have a few Lilja custom barrels.They shoot as well as my Bartlein and Krieger.I would have had one if Craddock sold them.But,his high end are Bartlein.As far as I have seen Lilja is comparable to Bartlein and Krieger.

My group buy 14.5" shoots very well, would buy again and am thinking about another one in a different length. The thread Bigs linked on pg 13 are some pictures of mine the first time out with it shooting 3 different factory loads, seems it really likes SST's.

I get good results using the google custom search for the 6.5 Grendel website.

I have a 20” 740. It shoots good not great like my 20” Bartlien. I really need to shoot it more and see if there is another load it will love.

24" Neptune upper made by PF with Lilja blank, .920 I think. 1/2 MOA all day if I do my part with handloads and behind the trigger. My favorite Grendel of 4.

I have the following Lilja barrels:

22" bull fluted
17.6" Wasp lightweight from the original group buy
16" Wasp lightweight from the same original group buy

They are some of the most accurate barrels I have ever owned. I've shot many sub-MOA rapid-fired groups with the 17.6" Grendel from 100 to 1000yds, doesn't matter, and the rifle only weighs 7lbs 12oz with optics.

The 16" printed 4 consecutive sub-MOA groups with 2 different types of ammo (Hornady 123gr SST and PPU 120gr MPT) right out of the gate.

My neighbor just got one of the 12.5" Lilja barrels from Precision Firearms that I'm going to help him set-up soon.

I have an AR319 barrel I picked up a few years ago, built my first upper with it. If I remember correctly factory ELD-M and American Gunner ammo hovers around 1 to 1.25 MOA, but my handloads are usually .3 to .5 MOA. So far it seems to be the most accurate rifle I own.

Anyone who says they don't shoot is a dirty, rotten, no good, low down, snake bellied, chicken choking, snuff skeeter of a felonious fibber.

Aside from that, you will have to spend a bit of money to get a better shooter.

I have Lilja barrels in Grendel and 223Wylde. They all shoot sub-MOA and better than I can. I rate Lilja alongside Bartlein, Krieger and lesser known international brands like Tru-Flite and MADDCO. Lilja fits barrel extension for AR's which is an important step the others don't. Krieger has a couple of Grendel drop-ins but not the profiles most of us would prefer. The others make barrel blanks only.

Olympic shooting teams and DEVGRU commission Lilja which is compelling testimony.

Thanks for the info guys. I have the barrel waiting to be installed, so a few more weeks of parts buying and I should be able to see what it can do. Thanks
