I don't have one so I'm not shooting it either. I also don't like or dislike any particular brand. I also haven't been thinking about getting one. I do however know that barrel life can vary. If you need anything else I'm here to help.anyone here shooting an AR chambered in 243? What brands do you like the best and least? How is the barrel life on them? I have been thinking about getting one.
I have 6 AR's now and have built several in 243 that all shot well. Personally though I shoot an F1 BDR in 308 that I built. I run 115 grain controlled chaos mono bullets at 3100 fps and it is devastating on coyotes and whitetails. I also run 168 gr SMK's with great accuracy but not worthy for hunting purposes at AR velocities. With a Proof barrel and careful use with mild loads you can maybe get 2000 rounds out of it. I would build one over buying and get exactly what you want.anyone here shooting an AR chambered in 243? What brands do you like the best and least? How is the barrel life on them?

How's the accuracry with the Krieger AR barrels?I've had probably 50 ar rifles over the years. ARs are so easy to put together I'd buy a quality upper and have krieger chamber the barrel for you and have it head spaced to a bolt they have. The rest is easy and you can use whatever parts you want to assemble it.
I have Black Hole Weaponry on two of mine and they shoot well. They are part of Columbia River Arms now. I have also had good luck with Criterion barrels but if you want to save weight Proof Research is the best way to go and just as accurate as any other with better heat dissipation.They shoot well as they should. I've got bartlien and krieger barrels both on ar rifles. I don't see a difference in accuracy between them. Any of the cut rifled barrels should shoot well. Although For the money it's had to be Black hole weaponry if you can catch them on sale.
