I have a new “tier one” carbine made by a highly respected manufacturer. The best 100 yard groups I can muster using xm193, prvi m193, prvi m855, or q3131a1 is 4-5 inch groups. The 10 shot groups are scattered with rounds spread all over a 4-5” area. This is using quality magnified optics and a bipod. The barrel is also free floated. In comparison, I can achieve consistent 2” or smaller groups using the same ammo out of my Bushmaster, so I don’t think it’s the shooter. The new carbine was intended to be my SHTF carbine and I want/need it to shoot milspec loads more accurately than it does. Should I decide to replace the barrel, any suggestions as to who makes consistently accurate midlength gas system barrels? |

Are the barrels the same length?
