David B Beckering –
I recently purchased this barrel to finish the build on an AR .45 Carbine. The barrel assembled easily and once mounted it settled in after a couple shots. I had it zeroed at 50 yds in 5 rounds and then shot it at 100 yds hitting a ½ sized silhouette target twice out of 2 shots fired.
My only “complaint” is that the barrel thread didn’t match the flashhider I had on hand. In the advice column – get the heaviest buffer you can find and use it. your cases will STILL be sooted up but they won’t be abnormally bulged that way. FYI I’m running an 8 oz buffer and might go to a 10 oz.
I’d give it a 4.5 but that option isn’t available.
