Anyone have one? Have any luck with em. They have a .300 blackout barrel that I'm tempted to buy

Go for it..brownells has a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Don't know who is crafting Brownell's barrels.  For my 300BLK build used a barrel from Sota Arms.  That barrel was made by Montana Rifleman, who earlier this year sold out their barrel making division to Remington.

with so many quality manufacturers making good barrels, why take the chance?

 

Noveske, DD, Ranier and so on... why look further?

Find one

i would rather wait for a good quality barrel then buy something sub-pas just because its available. 

 

buy once, cry once... even if you have to wait.

How far do you expect to shoot w/ a 300BO?  What kind of groups do you expect?  Are you suppressed, like it was intended to be?

 

Oh yes I would agonize about a quality barrel.

If my .300 is ever broken out its to handle a problem in close quarters. Like my neighborhood. It's not a target round. It's a shtf round

I have a very nice ar as my go to

Shawn - is it a 50 yd gun? 100 yd gun?  You want to use it for defense it sounds like?  Looking for 4" groups at 100 yds?

 

I would hope any barrel you buy could do that.  Just trying to be practical.

Niehter Noveske nor Rainier cut their own barrels but rather brand the barrels they have coming from an OEM.  Same as me and my line of barrels that are in the works.

HTH

I know that few manufacturers machine their own barrels and fewer still make their own blanks, what I was saying is that barrels branded by Noveske and Ranier are top notch barrels.  I liked those because I could not find DD barrels online, gave up after about 2 min of searching, I am sure they are out there.

 

Without a good barrel, whats the point.

I don't think that is really fair to noveske. They choose and source their alloy/stock themselves, it's on their tooling, to their specs, using up unscheduled time in the pac-nor shop, which one can only assume the pay for the labor, and finish machined at noveske's shop. SO they didn't make the capitol investment in the machinery, and they don't do payroll and benefits handling for the machinists. Their CMV barrels have been made by FN though if that is what you mean, although I believe their QC specification is tighter than a lot you will see coming out the door as FN makes a lot of barrels for a lot of people. I'm assuming chambering is part of what happens at the noveske end of things. Perhaps profiling as well. The late Noveske was also formerly a pac-nor employee and in theory knows his stuff about barrels. The performance of the differing specified material and dimensions would imply he knew what he was doing. 

 

The majority of rainier's stuff is from black hole weaponry or was at some point anyway (select and match, but not ultramatch). Albeit in some profile and chamber combinations not offered if you buy from them direct. IIRC the rainier standard contour is a little less meaty than the BHW standard contour. 

Doesn't Rainier's site say their Select and Match are from the same factory as HK?

It's fallen off the bhw forum, but their CS rep answered a question about chamber dimensions with an answer that a specific clambering was only done for the barrels they supply to rainier arms.

 

Rainier says the 416r steel comes from the same steel mill as h&k barrels come from. Which is pretty much meaningless name dropping. I could sell an 8620 bolt and say it comes from the same mill that supplies colt with their steel. It'd be true because carpenter makes both alloys. It's a meaningless statement without further qualification.

 

416r steel rod is in theory the same. In practice you can get meaningful differences for barrels with how it is quenched and heat treated.

 

H&k 416 have chrome lined barrels and aren't stainless as far as I can tell.
