98Z5V Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago @blue109... So, first, brother... The Burn It Down gun ended up with a light on it. PID, you know. If you're gonna burn it down, then know your visibility range, right? So, I thought to myself - I better start looking for the NEXT barrel, because this thing isn't gonna last forever. Buy a backup NOW. Get on KAKs website, set my search criteria for their 12.5" barrels... Replacement is $119. Cool. But wait... What's THIS?!!? They have a stainless 416 barrel in a 1:5" twist?! WTF? What is THAT for? https://kakindustry.com/5-56-nato-12-5-ar15-barrel-stainless-416r-1-5/ Suffice to say - we're gonna find out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 different 12.5" guns that will do 850 yards all day long. 6.5 Grendel, 6 ARC, and 22 ARC. I THINK that KAK is making this thing as a super-fast-twist in order to over-stabilize the 5.56 heavies in order to get more distance out of them. I don't know. I just found this barrel tonight. I'll call KAK in the morning about this thing, and find out what the deal is on it, why they made it. One way or another, I'll get one, and find out. Maybe it's made for 88s or 90s? We gonna know soon... 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use the 510 over 6gr unique for 45/70 but I don’t think you could fit 6gr in the .556 case Edited 14 hours ago by AngelDeVille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted 14 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Man, for 45/70, I'm rolling 405gr Oregon Trail laser-cast lead bullets over 50.0 grains of IMR 3031, and it's all I can hang on to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
