Wondering if any one has done an accuracy test on the new A1 kits available with the new US made barrels?

quality impressions of the new barrels?

thanks

This should be interesting, will follow it.

I myself have a complete A1 upper. I plan on shooting 55gr M193 type ball in it.

Where are these kits, more specifically the barrels, coming from? Chrome lined?

The M16A1 kits are being offered by Century Intl Arms, J&G Sales, The Dealer Warehouse, and Sportsmans Guide.
The barrels are U.S. made, and not chrome lined.
The original source of the rifles that became the kits is unknown.

I can't imagine that these barrels are anything more than unlapped, non-chromed, button rifled cheap commercial barrels good for about 3,000 rounds.

I may be wrong, but I wouldn't bet on it!

3,000 rounds? The description does say non chrome, 1/9 twist.
Would all non chrome lined AR barrels only last 3,000 rounds? that just seems excessively short, as I know I will quickly put may more round than that down the tube.
