[ARCHIVED THREAD] - DPMS barrel quality?

Posted: 1/28/2013 4:03:48 PM EDT

I am looking for a 20" H-barrel for a three gun type rifle to shoot out to 500-600yds they are one of the only ones I have found that I can even back order a barrel from what kind of accuracy can I expect out of it?

myself and two other guys at the club have them and all shoot sub moa. Just last week I had a 1 inch 5 shot group at 200 yards with mine.

The most accurate barrel I ever owned was a 16" DPMS stainless 223 Bull Barrel.
I would shoot AE 55 gr. sub MOA all day long. I've shot 1/2" groups with it.
Unbelievably accurate.

A lot of people look down on complete DPMS rifles, but they make some good barrels.

The 20" HBAR DPMS barrel I had was the most accurate barrel I've owned. I kick myself for getting rid of it.

I got one of those... SS, Fluted, Cryo treated...

It is a tack driver. Little to no stringing as it heats up.

My 16 inch DPMS 7.62 is also a tack driver, I was really surprised along with my pops that shoots his M40A1. Shooting my DPMS LR-308 @ 200 yards, I can make three leaf clovers on the paper with five shots. Sub MOA for sure.
