Awesome Barrel

I love shooting the 10mm on an AR-15 PCC platform. It's a lot of fun to shoot. This barrel—I picked one up a while ago and built out the upper—shoots so well. I built a couple more, and they all were tack drivers. I was shooting steel at 200 yards, hitting a 4" steel disk.... It shoots well.

Good Barrel

I'm running a lower priced FM lower that takes Glock mags, Kaw BCG, Kaw 10oz buffer and heavy spring. I have been running this for a year now and I have been very fortunate to not have any feed issues! I get real nice groups at 50 yards with the Buffalo Bore 180gr. I have had pretty good grouping with my hand loads but I'm still playing. I am using a red dot so I'm sure with a scope I could squeeze some tighter groups out of this if I tried. Oh and mine chucks the empties about 10-15 yards so don't have anyone to your right!

Very nice

Here's how to make a blowback 10mm work properly. Mine runs super hot Underwood ammo perfectly fine, 140gr at ~1730 FPS! Also runs weaker plinking ammo fine. -Tubb AR15 Flat Wire Buffer Spring, other springs use too much force when chambering a round, and the bullet gets stuck. Tubb spring works great. -12 ounce buffer from heavybuffers . com (heaviest I could find) - Quarter Circle 10 .40/10mm BCG with the weight inside it. Hope this helps! Was a tricky rifle to get 'right.'

Exactly as it should be.

The fit, and finish of this barrel is exactly as it should be. The barrel was everything they said it was. Very happy with my purchase.

Flawless

Barrel is great. No flaws in design, or finish. Didn't have to do any smithing to it. Ran herters 180 grains from bass pro which is bum ammo. This is the best barrel you will find for the price.

Won't chamber rds properly consistanly

Bought this barrel to build 10mm ar. Barrel looks to be of good quality but will not consistently chamber rds. The ramp does not appear to be deep enough. The rds get caught up as the bcg tries to chamber a rd 50% of the time pushing the bullet into the case. I have changed everything but the barrel no change. will be gettign a new barrel from another brand. Money wasted on thei barrel. Pictures attached
