I have started to compile the parts for another build and was looking for input from you guys. This one is for the fiancé as she has showed interest in going yote hunting, Plus she can shoot!! The 16 will be lighter for her and I will do all I can to make it as light as possible
I have never used either manufacture barrel but I know they both are great companies.
If I go with the Rainer barrel it will save me about 100 bucks. I always like saving money.
Both companies use Shilen blanks
Here is the rainier specs:
Rainier Arms UltraMatch™ .223 Wylde Barrel - 16
We wanted to build an AR15 barrel using the finest blank and mass produce them to bring them to market at the most competitive prices. Our UltraMatch™ barrels start out as Shilen blanks and contoured to our specifications. We wanted the best balance between accuracy while keeping the weight down as much as possible. It also features Shilen's Ratchet Rifling™ which allows for flatter trajectories and easier cleaning. We are so confident in our UltraMatch™ barrels that we will offer a 100% money back guarantee within 90 days of purchase. If you aren't completely satisfied with the barrel for any reason, return it for a full refund, no questions asked.
Features:
Stainless Steel Match Grade Shilen Blank
Length: 16"
Twist: 1:8
Thread Pitch: 1⁄2 X 28
.750 Gas Block Seat
.223 Wylde Chamber
Midlength Gas System
Ratchet Rifling™
M4 Feed Ramps
Proprietary Contour
Bead Blasted Finish
Weight: 2 lbs. 2 oz
Dtech Specs:
Select match grade
These stainless steel masterpieces of machining and hand lapping are intended for the competition shooter-- or even the hunter-- who wants the ultimate in accuracy and quality. These are our highest grade barrel and, of course, the most costly. What makes them so good that benchrest shooters, such as Tony Boyer, crave them? Consider this: To meet Select Match Grade criteria, the groove diameter must air gauge within .0003" of our standard diameter. Moreover, the uniformity of the bore cannot vary more than .0001" for the entire length of the barrel. These barrels are also completely stress relieved, and the bore is polished to a gleaming surface finish by our most experienced lappers.
I will be mating the barrel up to a squared Vltor MUR 1-a upper
let me know your thoughts
thanks
