Barrels are turned to .625" then sleeved for a final OD of .820"
.820” really? Isn’t .920 the heavy barrel standard size. Why such an odd ball size?
Found out by buying one. It’s 0.92 at the receiver end, tapers to 0.82 for the rest of the length. Really nice barrel, can’t wait to get it assembled.
The 0.82 makes it ideal for most common muzzle devices, taking the one off of my AR to use with this
Hey ColinD,
We have always turned our 'light' barrels down to .820". It also helps to free float thee barrel, Kidd also does this as do other high end manufacturers. It has nothing whatsoever to do with metric measurements, that is ludicrous. Since 99% of North American firearms are made to Imperial this is our standard.
Hope you like the barrel, let me know if you have any other questions.
Match chamber? Any more blued 18.5 coming in stock?
