Recently purchased a brand new Urbanfileman 223 1:7 ISSF (169 FB) prefit barrel, cut for 18" (although it looks like 18.5"), with 5/8" muzzle threads, heavy varmit contour. It has 130 rounds through it. If you haven't heard of him, search for his barrels on accurate shooter, tons of great reviews. The barrel uses a barrel nut, and includes the nut where a conventional wrench can be used to tighten the barrel.
Also included is an origin 223 bolt head and MDT polymer 10 round AICS 223 magazine.
The barrel really likes varget and 80 eldms. It did not love hornady black 62gr or hornady frontier 75 grain factory ammo. There are wrench marks on the barrel nut.
Have not tried to workup a load of any sort. With the extra freebore, it is geared towards 80 grain bullets. Weight on my kitchen scale is right at 4 lbs, including the barrel nut. Going a different direction and sold my action. New, this package would be over $600.00.
Asking $375 shipped, CONUS. Preferred payment is discrete paypal FF or Venmo. Cross posted.
