I was looking for a economical heavy barrel and found TNA has a CNA 20"HBAR 223 1-9 twist for $211.17. Does anyone have info on the accuracy of CNA barrels. I searched but there is not a lot of info out there on them. Maybe im hoping for to much for the price.
Canadian National Arms barrel info?

I have one. For the price point, it shoots well.
To note though, I had to drill out the gas port hole on the barrel as it was too small and was causing issues. Other than that - it does what a barrel should.

What projectiles are you planing on shooting through it? Some bullets may not stabilize well in a 1 in 9 twist, 62 gr FMJ for example.
62gr is fine in a 1/9 twist.
They have a "website" if you'd call it that so check it out. It will most definitely answer your question about the legitimacy (or rather the illegitimacy) of the company... lmfao!!!

I bought a 10.5" AR Barrel last year and it has served me well since installed.
I was able to obtain sub-moa 5 shots groups with reloads.

Its not a match barrel, but it does the job. I'm currently sitting at 4000-5000 rounds and accuracy is still the same

Really depends on what you are doing. Bottom line at my elevation and in the dead of winter these projectiles will not stabilize properly. They may not keyhole, but they'll likely go from 1-2 MOA to 4-6 MOA. 2"-3" could put you out of the "A", or miss altogether. Don't believe me, how about Bryan Litz?
For only a few dollars more than the CNA barrel you can get one from IBI while their Black Friday sale is still on. Sale prices are still active right now but I don't know for how much longer.

I ordered the lighter weight 19" barrel a few days ago. For the price I didn't think it was worth getting a "cheaper" barrel.
Also the 1in8 twist will still work great with 55gr ammo.
Just my .02

I don't think they are bad barrels at all, likely coming out of the US from one of the houses that just churns parts out. Just think that for a "Canadian" Company there is no web presence (that website of theirs tho.....) and no other retailer in Canada offers their products.
Just makes a guy think is all.
