Input on DD barrel

[Davy Crockett]

I'm looking at this barrel from Wolverine for a build.

Being a shorty, accuracy is not really job one. I just want a quality barrel that will last a lot of rounds.

Sticking with 11.5"/12.5" barrels, are there other products of similar quality (available in Canada) that I should be considering?

I'm just about over 30,000 rounds with my DD 10.5" barrel and it's as accurate as new still.

I purchased one of these for a new build. For almost half the price I am going to give it a try. I have a DD barreled AR that is also great.

Hi Darren

I was poking around your site earlier but the only one I saw available in 11.5 or 12.5 is the UltraMatch, did I miss anything?

A nice barrel but my understanding (maybe incorrect?) was SS barrels don't have the durability of CHF chrome moly? I thought it was geared more towards accuracy.

Rainier and Noveske are the only one currently offering "machine gun grade" barrels as far as I know. Questar had a small run done a couple years ago, I got the last 11.5" and that rifle was on the EE until monday.
I read Rainier will be releasing 10.5" Mointain barrels, Darren know best tho.

We'll have more options back in stock shortly.

Depends what you're using it for and how many rounds you're putting through it. For anyone who shoots casually at the range, it's not going to make a difference.

For long range target shooters an SS barrel could be shot out at 3500 - 5000 round because it might not hold sub 1 MOA groups. However it would still be a great barrel for anyone else.

Have a DD 11.5 CHF BBL. for practicality I zeroed my rifle at 50yards. it hold a sub MOA on my reloads ( 55 gr. Hornady, Vhitavouri N135) , even the Norinco will group at 1.5" ave.
