I ordered some parts to complete it that Optics Planet said were in-stock, then got notification that it would take 6-8 weeks before they ship. :mad:
Agreed on the Krieger and Bartlein barrels since they use harder stainless that lasts longer.
JP also cry-treats their barrels, which increases throat and bore life.
Glad youre enjoying it.
On the 10.5, I'm gonna assume you have already run this or gone over the ballistics in details vs 11.5 and 12.5? Which would you say ballistically is the sweet spot, for a dude like me that'll probably only have one 6.5G pistol?
I'd been hearing 12.5 but not necessarily stuck on that length either. I don't "need" super short, but yeah short is handy if it's only a small ballistic trade-off.
