Lightweight AR barrels?

Recommended Posts

I've found the expensive brakes put a lot of "research" into being middle performers. They are good at doing lots of things but best at none. MY battlecomp is very nice to shoot next to, and doesnt flash like all hell. My RRA brake is miserable to be next to.. I picked up a BCM gunfighter for my next build,  it's similar to the battle comp. But these compensators could "compensate" better by creating more flash and blast radius.

I know it's about the same do go the 16 vs 14 with comp route but I save like 2 ounces and it looks more tacticool.

 

Joe bobs has the kies comp and the gas block I need so I'm going to go with thay

 You said super light wasn't the ultimate goal tho? If 2 ounces makes you choose one barrel over the other then i say its a goal of yours... lol

The look of a 14.5 with comp is way better then a 16in bare barrel

Looks like we're doing similar builds. I'm starting to lean towards the faxon as well.

 

Im curious how the 14.5 shoots vs 16. Any difference out to 100 yds?

I highly doubt it if you use the correct bullet. I don't know what rail you are using but I'll have my alg rail in today. 13" only weights 10oz with barrel nut

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
