25x45 barrels cheap!

You don't need a 24" Go with the 18 and load it to the nuts. It's certainly worth a try. Shoot it when you get it. Lee dies can be had or buy a,set from SHARPS. I got my sizer from CH4D but check their stock via phone before ordering them there. Hornady 25 cal generic seater works great.

From what I see, a lot of what is on there is old stock. The newer stuff is what they have been having trouble with. If I had another gun that shot 25 cal. bullets, I would certainly order a 25x45 barrel.

GL, do you know how fast they ship those barrels out? Also, on the website it mentions some reorganization next year, any idea what that's about?
 
Only BHW barrels I have experience with are 6.5 Grendel barrels in 264 LBC.

Some of the most accurate Grendel barrels out there.. Also seem to run about 50-100fps faster due to the rifling I assume.

I figure 7-10 days on shipping.

The reorganization has already occurred.

The 25X45's were done a couple years ago and should be decent as they have s very large number of them.

Any reason why they would have so many of those barrels?? That is not a popular chambering I would think as much as a 223 would be.. And if someone ordered one from BH why would it take 6 to 8 weeks when they could just ship one of those barrels out.. I would buy the longer barrel and have a machine shop chop down to the length you wanted.. Dan

Maybe because someone didn't pay for what they ordered? Maybe because they only ship barrel configurations that are ordered and if someone didn't order one of the standard profile combinations then they get to wait?

I ordered a 24" 6x45 9 twist. On account they have 1/2 inch muzzle threads, I will cut it to 20 or 22 and and thread it 5/8 after I see how it shoots.
 
I'm looking at one of the 6x45 barrels and am curious about some of the nomenclature. I'm new to AR builds and am getting this barrel for a lefty 6x45.

What is the difference between B/R TC MACH and STD/R 1/2 BLK. I assume the 1/2 refers to the thread size at the muzzle and the BLK would be black. I would guess STD means standard. I could use some clarification before I order. Thanks.
 
B= Bull R= rifle gas tube length TC= target crown Mach= machined surface/polish and 1/2 is threads on the end of barrel, Blk is black shot peened finish. Std is their standard weight barrel. They also have a Lt and pencil contour. I've always liked the Std barrel profile for varmint builds. I think they have descriptions on the home page for Columbia Rivers website.

Thanks. That helps a bunch. I am wanting to put together a fur calling rifle. I've use bolt guns all my life in nearly every 22 centerfire, the 17 Rem, 6mmx222, 6mm Rem and 257 for coyotes. After talking with some of the younger guys and watching many videos, I am thinking it's time to come into the 21 century.

Ha Ha!! Carefull... I was the same way a year ago. I still shoot my bolts, but the Ar's are growing on me. You are in the right place though. Alot of knowledge/good guy's around here. Good luck

If one was to buy a barrel from that company and it doesn't shoot, Would one call BHW and report the barrel issue to them? Dan

They are the same company, just a different division the way I understand.

That would be the way to deal with the issue. The sale is being run by part of CRA/BHW , same people from the start.It won't get addressed if they don't know. Putting it out on any Forum won't do you any good as they don't look around on the net for feedback. On these barrels I've noted they have a 30 day warranty. A thinking man in this situation would avail themselves of a quick trip or two to the range as if it comes up next summer they will probably be SOL for any returns.

No matter what the barrel brand though the definition of won't shoot is pretty nebulous. I've seen/shot many brands and XXX doesn't always hammer everything you pour in it.

Then there is the issue of being stubborn, like we all are at times, insisting the barrel shoot YYY bullet. Sometimes chicken sometimes feathers. I shot some 40 VMAX through one barrel with maybe thirty combinations of powder etc. Never got it to shoot but it loved the 39 Sierras. This was a Shilen 20 caliber so no matter what the brand or the famous name 'smith that did it it matters not. A barrel has way more patience than we do.

I had one A-hole deluxe contact me. He got a new barrel and loaded up fifteen rounds for it. Same bullet at three powder charges at the same length. It only shot 0.75 MOA and he said it was crap. I encouraged him to maybe give it a bit more testing but he was sending it back cursing the product.

Sure you could but also you aren't an ignorant [beeep]. It's an AR not a heavy varmint benchrest competition rifle.
