Most Recent Reviews 6arc 16" stainless proof barrel. by Gilchrist, Verified Owner, December 27, 2024
Rebarreled a cmmg resolute upper that always shot poorly. Was confident in my build but always shot terribly with factory barrel. Threw this proof on and .5" groups at 100 yards are the new normal. Now it shoots the way it should. Way to go PROOF!!!!
