I don't think R34skyline was concerned about price or on the fence about buying one. I believe he was saying that there is nothing special about their barrels that accounts for the price when compared to other known brands for similar cost.
 
Most of barrel available are advertise as 18inch. Like Noveske or other brand.
But some manufacture cut the barrel a bit longer.
it would be nice, if you have one, check the actual length

Oh I won't. My question is what do you feel these barrels offer that a similarly priced daniel defense or bcm barrel will not?

Is there anything to these barrels other than they are made in canada?

ive made 2 builds with them so far and quality is good. 1 moa so for me yes I like to suport a Canadian made product if I can.

I guess I could say the same, what do you feel a DD or BCM bbl offers over these ones? all I'm saying is both have been finished to atleast the same degree as any DD or BCM ive seen, and shoot just as well for me, so buy Canadain is my moto. ive bought another 18.6 for the next non restricted build aswell

The answer to your question is simple. Their barrels have been tested and used hard by more than one reputable source and last a tens of thousands rounds of hard use.

4150 is a better grade of steel. Correct me if I'm wrong but maple ridge barrels are 4140. Nor are they cold hammer forged.


Stronger cold hammer forged barrels provide superior detonation protection.

Looks to me like you are getting less for your money.
 
Anyone have a link to the Odinworks barrels that RDSC is bringing in? Curious about length and profile/weight.

I've got an SJ Hardware 18.6" dimpled 416R match coming but it's pretty heavy... 2 lbs 3 oz. Wish I had something about 6-8 oz lighter for my Maccabee even if I give up some accuracy.

I'm in the same boat...looking for something light but in 6.5 Grendel. From what I've seen the lightest is Faxon.

Faxon isn't cheap and iirc they are 416r steel. So they won't last long. But they are air gauged and have good tokerances so I believe people had great accuracy results from them.
 
Bringing this back up to see if anyone has anything to add 6months later. Do we know who’s blanks they use or does anyone have any accuracy reports?
 
I've got just north of 500 rnds through mine. Its an 18.6" .223 wylde with a 1/8. So far with 55gr hand loads for my 3 gun AR I'm getting about 1.25 to 1.5" at 100m.

I have one of their stainless spiral fluted 18.6" barrels on order (backorder)
I'm guessing it will be 1moa or slightly better with quality ammo, just going off what I've read on their site though. Stainless, match grade, 223 wylde, button rifled, air guaged, sounds good to me.
I orderer one about a week after I heard ATRS would be making the MV-s receiver set.
If I get the barrel before the receiver set it will go into my AR that will end up being the parts donor for the MV-s for barrel break-in and load development.

Link doesn't work for me. I've seen a spiral barrel and very interested.
