Also looking at the MI Gen 2 SS 12" handguard to it, anyone have one of these and if so, how do you like it?


Yes, the chrome lining addes eccentricities to the barrel. It may make it more durable, but it will limit the accuracy potential of the barrel.

If you want an accurate barrel, look at a tighter chamber such as the .223 Wylde, and move from a hammer forged to a button rifled barrel.


You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
