Forgive me for this long rambling post.
I've never been a tacticool guy, my interest has always been accuracy so I shunned ar15s until I shouldered one at a gun store, a dpms lite 16. Dang, that felt right so it followed me home. I loaded up my tried and true 52gr Bergers on top of some 322 powder. Was I ever surprised! That stupid thing shot under .5 at 100 yards. Thus began my quest with the AR-15 platform. I've never competed in matches, only against my self. I don't give a damn about trophies. Anyway, I ended up with my crowning achievement, a Bartlein heavy bbl 6.5 grendel thermofitted to a bcm blem upper. I chose the 6.5 because of the long history of success of the 22 russian based cases in the bench rest game. I like bcm uppers because they're slightly undersize requiring thermo fitting that results in great bedding. I don't care about lóoks just results. The blemished ones are far cheaper and adequate for my needs.
Surprisingly I bought a pencil thin bbl from gpc for $135 that came from a now defunct defense department manufacturer that the ATF shut down because of importation violations. It's a chrome lined bbl and chromers aren't known for accuracy but that upper easily shot in the .7 range.
Anyhow, to sum it all up, I've lost interest in firearms and hang around here for the feeling of comradely.
Edit to add: I just remembered who made that chrome lined barrel. I was Sabre Defense.
