AR15Performance? Back a few months ago I ordered a complete upper from SOTA with a stainless 16" barrel. It came in and accuracy was decent with 1 1/5" groups @100. Then I got to reading about AR15Performance and the reviews from his barrels. Hmmm, maybe one day I will upgrade.

Then a friend said he wanted to make use of a stripped lower he has had laying around. He tried my 6.8spcII and fell in love. He offered me a decent price for my barrel, bolt, and muzzle brake. That morning ARP had 8 of the 16" scout barrels in stock. By 11:00 the guy paid me. By 12:00 I went online to order a barrel and super bolt. Out of stock. I got a hold of the owner. He was surprised but said he will put 10 more in inventory the next day. I checked every half hour. Finally at 9:00 he had 10 of them. I quickly ordered one. By 11:00 they were all gone. Wow, these must be pretty desirable.

That was an understatement. I took it to the range last weekend. After 4 shots to get it 2 1/2" high at 100 I did a fresh target for a 5 shot group. By the time I got back to the firing line and finished a relaxing chat with other shooters my target was flapping in the breeze. Apparently the bottom staple fell out but I thought what the heck, give it a try. I wound up with a 5/8" group!! Same ammo, just a different barrel. And that was with a 15mph breeze from about 2:00 position

Now, imagine of I was a competent shooter and/or had a good set of bags or bipod.

My bolt actions just may collect some dust now

Wow, it seems people have never heard of them. Or maybe I'm an annoying jerk. I hope I'm wrong.

Any way, I thought I'd throw another name out there. ALG Defense. I bought one of their 13" M-lok handgaurds. It's the wife of Gieselle (trigger guy).
