C Funnk Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Anyone have any experience with these barrels. Have not heard to many reviews. Was thinking of going with a 14.7 pinned and welded or 16 inch. Both are mid length gas. Longest range would be 350 to 400 yards, so I'm aware it will not be a long range set up.

unforgiven Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 They make good products no doubt. I have a Palmetto Stat CHF 14.7 w/ a comp. chromed lined FN for the money can't be beat for 5.56. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) I have a 16" Wilson Combat barrel in .338 Federal, and it's a great barrel. Fantastic, in all ways.

Expand Fixing to start a build and know they make quality 1911s, so seems like they're barrels would be quality also. Trying to decide between a 14.7 p&w or 16 inch. Want it to be not too heavy and not worried about anything over 350 yards at this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why, but that .338 Fed shoots softer. No kidding. I've had others here try it out, and it's a shock to them, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an X-Caliber 18" barrel on my .338 Federal build and it does shoot a bit softer than the 18" Faxon .308. The .308 has a Miculek brake while the .338 has a generic compensator. There isn't much difference and both shoot very soft, very close to my 6.8 SPC and 6.5 Grendel but I was really surprised with the .338. I have LaRue MBT2 triggers on them now and they are very comfortable shooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
