I decided to put together a AR upper with a bunch of parts I had on hand but I needed a barrel. Since this was a parts upper I wasn't going to put 3-4 hundred into a quality barrel. So I did a little looking around on the different forums and found a 16', 9 twist, model 1 stainless barrel with 200 rounds or so on it for 100.00 to my door. I did a little research on the barrel and read mixed reviews so my expectations weren't to high, as long as it held MOA of coyote out to 300 yards or so I would be pleased. I loaded up some 53gr Sierra MK's over 25grs of Benchmark and took the upper for a test drive.
I was more than impressed, it never shot a 5 shot group over 2" at 300 yards and bellow is a picture of the days best group at 300 yards, this was shot off a bipod with a rear bag.
