98Z5V Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) I have a BCA 16" M4-profile barrel in 6.5 Grendel, and it shoots the lights out... I'm not against BCA, by any means. I didn't expect that from it, and was happy. You don't buy one, though, and expect match-accurate from it though - and bitch when it isn't...

Budget barrels are budget barrels, and are not McGowen barrels, LaRue barrels, PacNor barrels, Shilen barrels, etc. This breaks it down well.

Gotta brag up this Nordic Comp barrel, shoots super tight groups with Remington subs, like under 2 inch at 100 yards with irons and for my old eyes that is great, at about 20 yards it hit the 2 inch repeatedly without a miss.The fit and finish was impeccable. Wishing I would have bought two while they had them, even though I don't need another 300 BO.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Nordic Comp 18" barrel in my original Mk12 Mod 0, it's the only one I own, and I completely agree with you - that thing shoots super tight groups, perfect fit and finish. Definitely an impressive barrel. Too bad they don't make that profile anymore, or I'd definitely recommend it for 5.56. They do very good barrels.

jtallen83 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I was wrong, CDNN does still have these Nordic Comp 300 BO pistol barrels, $89.99 https://www.cdnnsports.com/ar15-barrel-300-blackout-10-5in-black-teflon-1-8.html?___SID=U#.XUyM8OhKjb0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washguy Posted January 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just now, sketch said: just re read this whats the skinny here? the lug engages the bolt? So when I got my first one I was pulling on the bolt seeing how harsh it was gonna be in break in...well hell it didnt budge....the lil handle has a allen head bolt that is threaded into the carrier...but they didnt engineer it real good cause if the handle doesnt spin and its fully tightened the bolt end will lock the bolt down to carrier....so just only tighten to hand tight and roller handle must spin...used some bad azz thread crap on it or dremel the end of bolt so it cant hit the bolt ....Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
