Has anybody tried the ARP barrels from Blackstone Arms since they took over the barrels instead of the ARP guy? All the ARP barrels I've had have been great shooters, and was just wondering if anybody has tried them since the change.

I bought a 12.5" 6.8 SPC barrel and bolt from Eric at Blackstone, and don't have any complaints.

Glad to hear. Just got the itch to get a better barrel for my new build than the Aero Pencil barrel that sorta started me on this project, and I just wanted to see if anything had changed in the transition.

They say they're using the same OEMs as ARP was using so in theory they should be the same. Although supposedly Compass Lake was shutting down so not sure how that's going to play out.

Hmm, I didn't keep up with Compass Lake closing its doors. Might have to look at other options then. Gonna shoot Blackstone an email to see what they say about it.

Compass Lake didn't close. They stopped doing custom work and selling direct to consumers a while back.
