Brownells Branded Barrels

That's great but inquiring minds want to know who's blanks are they using & who is the company producing the barrels for Brownells? 

 

Good question.

 

So far though, I've been extremely happy with Brownell's branded products.  I've yet to experience a dog in the line.

I'm thinking it may be these www.saternmachining.com   They just happen to be in Iowa and have some of the types of barrels Brownells are selling. I think they might be worthlooking into and they are Military / LEO friendly.  OH and they have both SR-25 / DPMS AND Armalite AR-10 Pattern barrels.

You happen to get any rounds through it yet?  I'm looking for a 16" barrel for my first build and was curious about these.  Thanks for the help!

Yes I have. About 150 rounds. However, the ammo I was using was over pressured. I have had trouble sighting it in because I can't get consistent results at 100 yards.

I don't know the issue yet, but I suspect the ammo was the problem. I'll get back to you once I get it sorted out.

Hmmmm, interesting. Also, what are you using for a bolt with it? I'm wondering about the whole headspacing issue if I order one and if you had any other issues to note with that barrel as well.

I have a SI-Defense NiB BCG. The bolt and barrel headspace fine.

No issues. The gun operates well and seems reliable so far. I'll put 150 more rounds through it this weekend in a CQ defense class. Shooting at a higher rate in the heat should help flesh out any lingering issues.
