You got it. I have no love for the barrel. but want to see what I can make it do and it only has maybe 475-500 rounds through it so far, long way to go before it's time to re-handle the Gray bottle jack. I know there are several premium pre-fit barrel options out there, but if/when I wear this one out the rifle is magically going to become a precision .300 Blackout with a barrel fitted and chambered by ME. I got 5.56 ARs that shoot circles around it right now, don't really need it except it's quiet enough with the can to not need hearing protection at all, unlike the ARs with the port noise in my ear.
Remember, this is all a grand experiment. I never owned a bolt 5.56 before and this one fell in my lap, threaded muzzle and all. Figured I'd shoot cast through it because I have a good 5.56 suppressor and can blast all I want at home. Lead in the can made me investigate powder coating, and here we are trying to get accuracy from it all. I still have several other rifles to work out HV PC loads in, hopefully I'll learn some more about that soon in this one instead of spending time working out the bugs in the rifle itself.
