[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1664839, member: 110162"] Hammer forging a barrel usually gives a nice clean bore. Less stress too, so the point of impact isn't as likely to shift when it gets hot. The quality of the rifling and bore finish are directly related to the mandrel that the barrel is shaped to. Hammer forged barrels are also the most durable way to make a barrel. The surface of the bore is work hardened during the hammering process so you can run the accurate round count a good bit higher than a cut or buttoned barrel. I'm glad to see the major American manufacturers starting to use this method . Ruger had been hammer forging for a while now on some models . It's a smart move on Remington part to get in on it too, IMO. [/QUOTE]
