E5232 Posted October 11, 2022 Report Posted October 11, 2022 Does anyone kmow what aftermarket bareels will fit the G2? the factory 20" piece overheats and is useless after a dozen rounds and im looking for a 20-24" bull
shooterrex Posted October 11, 2022 Report Posted October 11, 2022 I used Balastic Advantage for my rebarrel. I wanted a shorter barrel though. 16". Any barrel designed for a DPMS pattern receiver will work.

FOGeologist Posted October 11, 2022 Report Posted October 11, 2022 A suggestion on this: I have had two barrels on my AR-308, a 16" bull barrel from DPMS, which seemed capable of producing sub MOA groups with some ammo, and an 18" Faxon Big Gunner, which seems to be a little worse performing. Use a shim, if your barrel's sloppy in the upper. Refer to the JP Rifles thermofit video on YouTube to see how it can be fitted. Consider a heavy profile barrel; it will be like handling a tank turret, but if your goal is accuracy above all, then the thicker profile seems to prevent whip from wrecking your accuracy. I would also stick with 18" (preferably 20" +) to retain as much velocity as possible. Get a numbered drill bit and identify the gas port diameter, if it doesn't match 98's list, drill it out.
