KAK Barrel Overruns

Are these barrels any good?

Rifled blanks are fairly cheap anywhere. The cost is in chambering them correctly. GM makes good barrels so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Thanks. But it's still in the back of my mind. A little background to my thoughts mark @ precision discouraged me so it could be my hopes are too high. He is a good guy don't get me wrong.
.... Wait I'll do my own testing - I would like an accurate super upper so I'll build it with good parts and see how much the psychology of the barrel unknowns come into play. The adj gas block he offered me was $141 which is much more than the barrel. (May run some subs). I'll search for info on adj block on 16" since it could add $$$ without need.

I run SLR Sentry gas blocks on a couple guns. About $120 street price. Its sound advice to run one on a 300 to quiet the buffer 'whack' as much as possible. Once the bullet is silent you start to get offended that all the other parts are too loud

I have an AAC barrel that I picked up on the BF sale, last year for 135 shipped. It will print 1/2" groups at 100 yards if I do my part. Sometimes you have to make a leap of faith.

Thanks, I'll be building slowly, worked has picked up, headed south for the weekend (NC) so I may add to the powder pile as well

If you are going to handload for 300, I have seen W296/H110 and Lil' Gun do some good things.

Yes, I'll add to those but looking for Accurate No. 9 for some 78 gr. pills. (Lehigh CQB)
