[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 133918, member: 8843"] I don't know exactly what the differances are between the Blackstar barrels and the LW that Borwnells offers. Brownell's carried the Blackstar Accu-max II barrels about 10-12 years ago , I got a flyer that showed they were going to disscontinue them so i bought several. I sold a few boult a couple guns with some and have one left. They work great and all guns built with them shot very well. I know that they still make them and from what I understand they are still a great product , but lately the other great barrel makers like Rock Creek , Lilja , Hart and on and on have been getting good buisness , I realy don't have the need for barrel burner anymore and I've only made a few trips to shoot high volume varmints so wearing out a barrel takes years for me.. If your looking for a barrel with long life I would either use a 3 groove Lilja or a 5R barrel from Rock Creek , both of them have proven to last a little longer than conventional land and groove barrels. Hart makes a fine barrel and they win their share of comps every year you would be well served with a Hart , as you would with a Kreiger , Lilja , Broughton , Lawton , Schnider , Rock and so on. I haven't even looked at the Blackstar web site in years so I'm not sure what they have going now days. In a head to head compairison with any of the above listed barrels I would have to say that the Blackstar barrel would out last them "IF" the land and groove dementions were the same simply because the material is harder and less affected by the heat and pressure that eats barrels up [/QUOTE]
