I am looking for $400 or less just for the barrel. Right around 12-13 inches in length. MOA or sub-MOA accuracy would be ideal. I was perusing a couple of threads on barrels, and this guy said he went through 4 before ending up on the Lilja 12.8 barrel. https://forum.snipershide.com/threads/6-...a.6686433/
So, I just called Lilja and they are out of the SBR business for a while. He pointed me towards sixsigmaarms.com and said that Curt had bought a lot of Lilja 6.5 blanks. I tried giving them a call, but it went straight to a generic voicemail.
I'd love to get in on a Lilja groupbuy!
Mark at PF can do you up a criterion grendel barrel for around 350. Mine is 12.5 inch's and it is sub moa with everything but wolf fmj ammo.
Had a gen2 pst 1-6 on it at first and rang steel out too 600 with 123 eld-m and 123 American gunner factory ammo, then dropped in my 120 gold dot handload and hit steel all the way out too 600 again.
Have a 2moa red dot and 3x magnifier on it now and the steel gongs at 200 and 300 are boring to shoot because I can't miss.
Probably going back to the 1-6 so I can have more fun shooting at the 6 inch gongs at 500 and 600 yards.
