MikedaddyH Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 1) The barrel you have listed is probably great but over the top. Now most modern stainless steel barrels are good enough. The chrome lining is not nessarly anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I agree on the barrel, skip the chrome lining and go with a QPQ/nitride finish. Same or better corrosion and wear resistance without the accuracy effects of chrome lining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, high quality with good support from the company. Nice choice in a trigger too. Check out the Wilson Bcg offered here as well.

Jetdoc Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Ill consider all suggestions. I went back to CROTW show this morning and had a great chat with a vendor regarding parts. The vendor had a few of these barrels on hand ....Thoughts? http://faxonfirearms.com/18-medium-tapered-308-win-mid-length-4150-qpq/ Thanks Gents.

survivalshop Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Criterion makes a Chrome Molly Barrel with Chrome lining & they say their Chrome Lining method , does not effect accuracy . As said , I have two SS Barrels with out the Nitrate treatment & they shoot better then I can any day. Had an 18" I sold that was the Hybrid contour ,SS with the Nitrate treatment & it sure was easy to clean . Faxon is regarded highly here .

It hits what I aim at, cleans very well, is lighter than many 16" barrels, and put 3 deer in the freezer. I liked it so much I bought a 16" .223 pencil barrel that is also QPQ coated AND LIKE IT JUST AS MUCH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetdoc Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Thanks Beantown! I have some ideas for the Receiver group before assembly. I want to add some color ( cerakote ) and a few engravings. On the L/H side of the upper below the picatinny the phrase; si vis pacem, para bellum with a Cross of Loraine and on the R/H side just rearward and low of the case deflector her name Baba Yaga. For now heres a oic of the receivers. Edited January 23, 2017 by Jetdoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
