mineralman55 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Wonderful! How did they keep it under 6lbs and maintain long-term reliability? Enquiring minds want to know!!!

mineralman55 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 Original ARs had really thin barrels. So does that impugne the long term reliability or the accuracy of these rifles? Expect, what, 5000 rounds before needing a barrel change? I'm just interested if anyone knows?

Rsquared Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 DAMN! I think I just ripped a whole in my pants.
blue109 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) The military fattened the barrels up after soldiers in Viet Nam started bending them. there is a big post on ARF by one of the OGs at picatinny who was heavily involved with the A1/A2 upgrade. he said the bending barrel thing was the reason for the fattened up barrels, but it turned out to be wrong. the drop gauges were getting caught on the gas port and the testers were assuming it was a bent barrel.
