Brownells USA Amazing 01/12/2017

I was shocked by the accuracy with M193. I was putting 20 rounds in a 1/2 hole at 50 yards. Haven’t tried match ammo yet. Paired it with a new Daniel Defence BCG. Bore scope shows it to be a high quality barrel. Really happy with and it also cleans up super easy. You can’t go wrong with this barrel.

Definitely recommended

Brownells USA Excellent Piece of Equipment 06/01/2017

Got this barrel on sale for a lightweight build a few years ago, FINALLY got it together and put in a good bit of range-time on it.



This thing is amazing!! Super light, plenty accurate (easy 2" groups at 100 yards from a non-marksman with a little x4 scope). Again, got it a couple of years ago (for $160) I don't think you can get a better barrel for that price.
