[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1429077, member: 12995"] I have never owned, held, or even seen an AWR rifle. So I have no idea. However, the AWR .300WM has a 5R-rifled 1:10 twist barrel. And the 5R Milspec .300WM has a 5R-rifled 1:10 twist barrel. Barrel tooling is VERY expensive (regardless wither it's cut-rifling, button-rifling, or CHF - Cold Hammer Forging). So I would imagine that they are the same as the 5R Milspec, but turned-down to a magnum sporter contour. However, that is speculation, but knowing that barrel tooling is SUPER expensive, I don't see Remington buying tooling for a different .30 caliber 5R-rifled barrel with a 1:10 twist... So, just going by that info, I would take a SWAG and say there's a very good possibility they are one in the same... Your best bet would be to contact Remington and ask them do they use the same barrel blanks or CHF barrel tooling for both the 5R Milspec and AWR rifles in .300WM. That would be one definitive way to solve the mystery. And I, for one, would be interested to hear the outcome. So, if you do call Remington and ask them, please post up what they say. [/QUOTE]
