Hi all:
I’m going to replace the barrel on one of my ARs.
I’m looking at a 20” made by Colt - or it has the Colt name on it.
First I’d like to know if Colt barrels are quality or are they just made by by some outfit with the Colt name on it?
Also, this barrel is chrome lined. I’ve read where accuracy becomes iffy with a chromed barrel. Is this particularly true?
From what I’ve experienced over the years, it seems when it comes to barrels, it’s pretty much a matter of luck with what you get regardless of what it cost. I’ve seen plenty of negative reviews on expensive name brand barrels.
This will be for 200yrd shooting and maybe the occasional 300yrds.
In conclusion, I’d like to keep the cost to around $250.
At that price I’m not looking for exceptional accuracy. I’d be happy with 3 - 4” groups at 200yrds.
Thanks for replies
