imschur Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I contacted Armalite about competition grade barrels and here is the response I got. <thumbsup> Armalite’s Premier Services Division offers 22” and 18” Broughton 5C Canted Land Heavy Stainless Barrels as an option. The 18” barrels are currently in stock. Broughton Rifle Barrels are crafted from the finest material made today, 416R Stainless Steel. They are pulled button-rifled, Double stressed relieved at the mill & triple stress relieved in our shop at Broughton Rifle Barrels. Then each barrel is hand lapped with a uniform land and groove diameter up to 0.0001" from breech to muzzle. Our muzzle is NEVER larger than our breech.We offer a variety of land and groove combinations for most twist in calibers 22RF to .375 in both conventional and 5C ® rifling. We are continually adding new selections to meet the demands of new bullets and cartridges. Please give us a call at (920) 922-4882 for specific combinations.Since 2003 we have introduced 22RF, .224, .243, .264, 270, .284, .308 and .338 caliber "5C ®" (canted land) barrels. These barrels are showing exceptional clean ability, more velocity, longer barrel life, reduced bolt / breech pressure and extreme accuracy - shooting small groups at short and long ranges. We will expand this 5C ® land formation into other calibers and twist options in the future.Each barrel is crafted with the highest of quality standards. If a barrel doesn't meet our quality standards, it does not go out the door. From start to finish we track what is being done and the results to each barrel by serial number. An individual tracking record is kept with your file for every barrel. If a customer has a question or concern about their specific barrel or would like a barrel similar as another customer, we can look it up and duplicate or continually improve the process. Our craftsman takes pride in every barrel we ship.Im pretty sure this will go nicely in a build I have planned for late spring <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
