Oklahoma,
The shop is tiny, but it is dedicated to strictly ARs. The guys totally know what they are doing.
Curt, the owner, knowing I've popped off a about a million rounds in my long life, told me "Steve, given a good benchrest, a decent shooter and using benchrest techniques, you should easily get .50" to .70" five-shot groups out of BHW barrels. I love them and they NEVER come back to haunt me."
By the way, Curt will make a gun deal right, no matter what. If the BHW barrel is a turd, he will gladly trade me out of it ... full credit.
OK, I think I'll take him at his word.
When I got down there, the entire rifle was Noveske, except for the NiB-X bolt and the Gunslinger Charge Handle.
So did you get the BHW barrel or did he use a Noveske barrel?
