Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pacnor Barrel Question

They made the barrel for my lightweight .223 AI (props to Scott and Larry for pushing the AI, it’s a hoot) and I chambered it. They barreled several rifles for me before I got set up to do it myself and always did good work. Glad to hear they are back up and running!

This’ll be from left field, but consider having them thread the muzzle for a brake .... a brake on a .223?! I threaded the muzzle on my AI and made my own brake that’s sort of a copy of the Holland. The reason isn’t to tame the *vicious* .223 recoil; it’s to make it so I can see my hits/misses at longer ranges, and boy does it work! The rifle hardly moves.

I went fast twist, for the 75 AMAX, but I don’t recall the number of lands/grooves.

Good luck!
