They also have a lot of 556 and 308 barrels for those in that market

Is this really a 7.5” barrel?

https://truesportingarmsllc.com/product/...dp-58-blk/

These are Type 1 only right?

I’ve been thinking about a super short barreled upper...

It is indeed. I’m pretty sure they’re type one but call to confirm - they were very helpful when I called with questions about a 556.

There is no mention of bolt face depth that I could find.

This page says .125" bolt face depth.

From Columbia River Arms home page: "We only use a tightly controlled blend of fully-vetted and certified, F-Bar rated, BOSS 416R steel, recognized as the finest ordnance steel available."

I bought the machine finish barrel. I just looked it up and 416r steel is stainless. I guess that is all they use.
No need to worry about rust.

Damn.... wish that 7.5" barrel was type 2 chamber.

[Kswhitetails]

For those of you that reload, and only watch this form for deals. Amazon has the Frankford arsenal wet Tumblr on sale for $119.99 today.

Yeah...I bought the last one in stock to try out. I would have preferred Type 2 but I’ll get a Type 1 bolt and give it a go.

To those who have ordered a barrel from True Sporting Arms have you received a email confirmation of your order yet?

I ordered a couple barrels yesterday and still haven't received confirmation.

I realize it's the Christmas season and they are probably swamped with orders at the sale prices but it'd be nice to know whether the order is good before I buy other parts.

I made the mistake a couple of years ago of buying some Nikon M-223 scope bases for a couple of Nikon M-223 4-12 scopes Cabelas' had advertised for $115. I should have known it was too good to be true but I did receive confirmation of my order for the scopes shortly after I placed it. I got an email the next day that my order had been canceled for the scopes after I had ordered the bases.

It's not Grendel specific, but PSA has straight CMC trigger for $110 again (no affiliation, just a public service announcement): http://palmettostatearmory.com/cmc-trigg...3a00+Email

[calvarez]

That's a nice deal. I wonder if it would work for .50 BMG cases, which is the only caliber I reload. Seems big enough, but sometimes scale relative to the .50 is hard to tell.

I just ordered a 6X45 1X10 24 STD/R 1/2 BLK for $93.75 shipped (!!!) in order to give the p-dogs a little meat with their potatoes at range (70 grain FB Tipped Varmageddons going 2900ish without risking spinning off the jacket or overstabilizing & should expand out to 600ish ). I did get a confirmation in my Hotmail junk box.

93.75 for a BHW barrel?! Best deal ive heared of in awile.

Last week I ordered the BHW/Columbia 6X45 1X9 18 B/R TC MACH for $91.25 shipped.
Today, I bought five uppers, a BCG and some gas blocks and gas tubes for other builds from Delta Team Tactical.
Don't need no muzzle break for the target crown on the bull barrel 6x45.
I plan to put a schedule 40 handguard on this build.

The extra upper I bought is reserved for the group buy of the 6mm AR turbo improved.

I didn't get a confirmation email so I called Columbia and the woman there said my order was in and it may take a week or two to get the barrels out since the demand was so great. I did check my credit card and they already charged my account so I guess I am good to go, unless they mis-counted their stock.

[bj139]

Here is a BHW/Columbia 6x45 1x9 20 std/r 1/2 mach barrel for $86.25.
They show 4 in stock.

Stonehenge,
Just curious. Why did you go with a 1x10 twist?
They are showing one in stock with a 1x9 twist right now with the same specs as your other barrel.

It will pretty much be for a dedicated p-dog popper and I’m going to focus on the 70s. Put it in the Berger twist calculator and the 1x10 gave me an SG of 2.1 while the 1x9 gave me a 2.6. All that’s needed is 1.5. Spinning thin jacketed Varmint bullets too fast can spin the jacket off or alter them enough to affect accuracy at range, so I went with 1x10. A p-dog at 600 is about a 1/2 x 1 MOA target (maybe a little more depending upon posture), so every little bit counts. A lot of people out there claim 1/2 to 3/4 MOA from BHW barrels, so hopefully flat based bullets can get me on the low end of that range. I have gotten well inside that with 110 varmageddons out of a stock 308 RPR barrel. Longer, heavier 6mm bullets will get fed to the 26” 6mm Grrrr upper that will share the lower.
