DD barrel on the cheap?
So I am messing around at Brownells.com and I find they are listing Daniel Defense barrels with 1-7 twists and chrome lined for $169.99. Is this for real? What is different from these barrels and the ones Rainier is selling for $340-ish?

The ones that Rainier Arms sells is hammer forged.

I put a set of Mbus sights on it and shot it today. It shot great.. I was getting getting 2-3" and 4-6" groups but that is Iron sights @ 100yards off a bench. I couldnt see the target very well and I suck @ iron sights too. I was shooting some 55gr V-max handloads, 68 BTHP handloads, 62gr SS109 handloads and some factory XM193 which shot great.
Some ppl on the internet where saying that the gas port was undersized but I had ZERO malfunctions. I think the gas port is supposed to be smaller on Carbine gas system??
Im positive this barrel would shoot great groups with a scope attached. If I put a scope on it to test it, I will deffinatly report back.Last edited by Dirknar; 9 January 2010 at 17:14.

Just an FYI Pkfirearms.com has a Daniel Defense 16" midlength CHF barrel for only $250. If you prefer a midlength system its a great deal as well.
