Hello everyone. This video is just to go over my current GPR. I hope you find this video informative. Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions! Thanks for watching!
My 5.56 is a aero upper and ati omni hybrid lower with a 10.5 barrel and red and green reflex sight and magpul grips with a single point sling and Shockwave gen2 brace and laser and flashlight combo. That's my gpr for shtf
Stainless barrels are not cold hammer forged. Stainless barrels, by nature of the steel, usually on last fewer rounds before the groupings start to open up. As a general rule, on AR15 style rifles, if you want 1MOA accuracy replace the stainless barrel at 4-5K rounds. If you don’t mind 3-4MOA accuracy then replace at 10-12K rounds as the groups will start worsen at that count. So when you say 13K on that rifle it is getting up there in count for consistent accuracy. Even if it is a stainless Criterion Barrel the metallurgy does not change. My favorite stainless barrel is a KRIEGER BARREL which is the maker that Knights Armament chose for their Light Precision Rifle (LPR). But the constraints of a stainless barrel still hold true for the Krieger Barrels as well.
I apologize for getting back with you so late. I appreciate the insight, however. My groups have been starting to open up a little bit with this rifle so it may be time to re-barrel it (I'm also not the best at shooting tight groups haha). This was the first and only stainless barrel I've owned so I have little experience with them other than what I've experienced with this one. Next barrel will be something that's capable of a higher round count as I don't really do a lot of precision stuff. Thanks for leaving a comment and for the advice!
