Related to the current PSA 20" BBL deal; they like using A2 cut profiles. I've never been a big fan of that cut.
For something like a 6.5 Grendel, is there any advantage to the A2 profile cut? It seems like a goofy spec, that had something to do with barrels getting bent from bayonet torquing or some-such; irrelevant to us. It adds weight, but seemingly in the wrong place. But that said; I wonder - is there any accuracy advantage to the extra weight out in the last 6" or so of BBL length like that? If you took an A2 cut barrel vs a light weight barrel that didn't have the extra mass out there, would the A2 shoot any better?
Also, my search-fu was not strong. What's the syntax for searching for something like "A2" and "barrel". When I type "A2 Barrel" in the search bar, it pulls up everything that has Barrel or A2, without necessarily having both.
