Grayfox,
Your like me always building stuff and changing it around. I am doing the opposite as you and changing one of mine from a Monster 20" to a Faxon 20" fluted Match Barrel, I purchased it from a guy over on the 6mmArc site. He claimed the barrel only had 8 rounds fired through it. I believe him after bore scoping, it had absolutely zero throat erosion and the gas port had almost zero flame burn, and just a couple small streaks of copper in it. The barrel was as smooth as my Odin barrel, like it had been hand lapped, I couldn't find any machine marks in it. Just hope it shoots as good as it looks.
I have another Faxon 20" it is not a match grade barrel, but it has a short chamber in it and it shoots well. That is why I picked up on this one, I am hoping that it has a short chamber. I have found that the short chamber rifles are shooting more accurate, at least in the 6mm range. Even though the chamber is short you still have a substantial jump, but it's not .120 to .140 loaded to mag length.
Aren't these hobbies fun!
