Description

The Puritan 5.56 barrel is constructed from mil-spec 4150 chrome vanadium steel and features a 5R rifling profile with 1:8 twist rate. The gas port is set up for a mid-length configuration gas system. We have also installed the Patented E² extraction technology which increases the life on the extractor, increases reliability through dual extraction and makes shooting coated ammunition a breeze. To finish it off, our barrels are nitride heat treated, which greatly increases surface hardness and makes for a beautiful black and corrosion resistant finish.

These barrels shoot 1 MOA or better when installed in our Puritan series rifle.

I have reloaded brass from a E2 .308 chamber with no issues but honestly I did not like the damage it causes. I would not buy one for that reason alone.

Off my list then. I remember hearing about HK fluted chambers being hell on brass as far as reloading is concerned.

Absolutely. I had an HK G3 for a while and it completely destroyed the brass due to the fluted chamber. No way you could reload those ...
