I get asked all the time, "What is better, a 12.5" barrel or the 16.5 ?".
This is always a tough one for me because there are just too many variables involoved with shooting that no one barrel is perfect for all situations. Ergo, I had some free time and made a sample barrel that was a compromise between the two lengths. Introducing our new 14" stepped, fluted and Nitride finished barrels. These start as Green Mountain Barrel Co. stainless steel blanks that we turn down, flute and have Nitrided. Because of the step and fluting we can have a mid-length barrel that is not much more in weight (only 50 grams) than a 12.5" but with more accuracy. At the same time it is not noticeably less accurate than a 16.5" but is more than 200 grams lighter. That's half a pound off the front of your gun !
For now these are only available in the Nitride option but if they are received well by you guys we will also offer this style in a basic blued / matte SS option.


*Shown with optional XB-5 linear compensator.
