TacBlade Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 There is a post around here somewhere that was just started on barrels? Let me see if I can find it. Welcome to the Forum also!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacBlade Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I found it, but it was not much there. I have a Kaiser and it shoots pretty good and is priced right. Take a look through the manufactures listing and you should be able to find what you need at various prices. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Jukes Alot Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Not really. I just need an 18 in barrel w/ a 1:7.5 rifiling twist in a 6.8 or .308 calliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANGO2072 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Can you even get a 1:7 twist for a 308 ? ?thats alot of spin for a 308 roundWhy 18 vs 20, coming from someone who had an Armalite 20" cut down to 18".I'm not a hard data tester, but this past fall when I was out w/ a Guy who loads his own. He lent me his chrono for a few shots and compared to a 20" 308 1:11, using BH 168g BTHP I was at a dead 2600 fps, which is oddly close to the norm for that load out of a 20" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Im not sure I have seen either barrel with those twist rates. What bolt carrier group are you using in the 308? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Not really. I just need an 18 in barrel w/ a 1:7.5 rifiling twist in a 6.8 or .308 calliber.You would need a full custom barrel made for that twist. Use your search engine to bring up barrel manufactures for AR's & a bunch will come up .Email or call them what you want & most will even tell you who to go to for that twist.
