[QUOTE="budlight, post: 3082086, member: 2939"] When I bought parts I did shop around for all forged 7075 to get the best price. I have lots of different barrels. Back around the 2000's lot's of online sellers. My first m-16 looking barrel was also chrome lined. What has kept me from buying all kinds of AR calibers is that I already have quality bolt guns. You know why buy a 6mm ARC or some varient when you alrady have a varmintor 26 inch 243's. Bolt rifles with nice triggers are very accurate. You would not like my Texas pig gun, heavy 20 inch 308. Right at 12 pounds with a full clip and nearly 4 pound 6X32 power 60 mm objective. Just uppers and lowers are heavy. I don't know how you could lighten yours any more. I had a friend recontour a barrel on a lathe. So this without the heavy scope and clip is more like 8 pounds. This rifle can shoot small groups at 200 yards and my farvorite pig round is the Speer 125 grain HP TNT. They just DRT hogs! chronoed at just over 3000 fps using AR-comp or TAC. My 24 inch non threaded is always about 200 fps faster. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20240410_112959.jpg"]562800[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
