BRAND NEW HBAR BARREL, BELL AND CARLSON THUMBHOLE, A3 LOWER, 4 SIDED WEAVER RAIL GAS BLOCK.



Dont know much about them, any ideas?



(havin a few probs with pic try below also)

Is there problems with 1in9 twist barrels over stabblizing 55gn projectiles in these?

Are there any other things I should ask about this beast? I understand there are a LOT of third party manufacturers making things for the AR15, are there any to avoid?

Cheers.

I've got an AR-15 hbar A-3 w/24" SS 1 in 9 barrel all Colt stock...absolutely dead accurate sub 1" groups at 100 yds with 52 grain HP ammo. The groups open up a bit with heavier bullets, and 62 grainers group at about 2", but I am completly happy with the rifle.

Forget that stock.
Get a 1:8 barrel. It won't overstabilize the lighter bullets, and you can shoot the new generation 77grain HPBT's.
Most of these guns have barrels built by Wilson. An HBAR barel with chrome lining will get you about 1-1 1/4 MOA. Without the chrome lining and with a floated barrel expect 3/4" with a decent trigger.
Define your use. That will determine what configuration you want.
You can get the Rock River Arms two stage match trigger. I use that on all my AR's. It is almost as good as meeting Jesus on a country road.
