    Personally, I won't be doing much bench shooting. I do like knowing that, under perfect circumstances, my rifle could shoot reasonably tight groups. Everything I've read about RA Mountain series, BCM, DD, and Centurion Arms barrels says that they will get me a reasonably accurate rifle. Those are the barrels that are on my wish list. MOA is just a reference point I've used for understanding accuracy. The match barrels seem to be heavy compared to a 26-27oz CHF barrel. I want don't want a heavy rifle.

    I think this is your first AR right? I'd just stick with a quality chrome lined. Seems like that's what you've been wanting all along anyway. Maybe I should have Rainier offer a WEVO Members special on the Mountain Barrels. Like I said before though, I'm sure you'll bet both barrels eventually, so don't fight it.

    Great timing! I need barrels :)



    Tx try a 16" Midweight from RA. Think you'll like that profile. That's what I'll be using for the WEVO build. Which reminds me, if I'm buying RA products can they do the gunsmithing work Before shipping? Cerakote in particular? Just a pain shipping receivers back and forth.

    Not sure what is going on at Rock Creek but Mike Rock is no longer with them. Some pretty harsh words have been said about Mike after he "retired" as the company claims.

    I like the idea of buying from RA. One of the first parts I won for this rifle was a Samson rail from Revolr App. I'm pretty sure that's one of their companies. It would be nice to purchase from them. The midweight mountain barrel would be great. As a matter of fact, when I received my stripped lower ( 7 months ago), the FFL dealer recommended that very barrel. 😀

    What is the difference between the regular mountain the mid weight? I mean practically speaking.

    I see on the stats the regular 16" is 1 pound 11.4 oz and the mid weight is 1 pound 9.8 oz. It's a 1.6oz difference in weight.

    You know I am a complete nerd so that is the kind of answer I am looking for.

    They just have a slimmer profile after the gas block.

    Other than some weight savings, no other real benefit.

    Thanks for the heads-up! Do you know how long they will do this special? I am pushing hard to sell my extra parts. I lowered the price of my 11" CMR with the larger accessory pack "B" to $175 plus shipping. So hopefully it will move quickly. It's listed locally and in the WEVO classified section.
