[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Need Help Finding CHF Barrel

Posted: 12/13/2016 4:13:48 AM EDT

I am starting a new build, my current build I have an FN 16" CHF Chrome Moly Barrel in 1:7 twist w/ carbine length gas system.

I couldn't be happier with the FN barrel, so I would like to stick with FN if possible for this next build.

I'm looking for an FN 16" CHF Chrome Moly in 1:8 twist with a mid length gas system. And i've searched and searched and searched some more. Can't find one, don't even know if such a thing even exists.

So if anyone knows where I can find one or suggest a suitable replacement, I'm all about it.

No 1:8s. Closest you'll find... http://www.riflegear.com/p-2001-fn-16-midlength-17-twist-chf-barrel-556.aspx

1:7 only, most likely.

The mandrel for CHF is expensive and 1:7 is the usual spec

Does fn make 1:8?

1:8 twist may be hard if not impossible to find. I have a Spikes barrel made by FN that is CHF, 1:7 twist, and mid length gas I could not be happier with it over all.

May not happen with FN. If you're open to other great barrel's though, you will have many more options.

That's a damn nice barrel. Mine shoots great.

Just trying something new, and was curious if twist rates actually effect accuracy with lighter grain bullets like say. And if so 1:8 is a good in between

Contacted FN they advised they do not make that barrel in 1:8 only in a 1:7.

It was posted in stock twice, waiting for it to come back, hoping it wasn't a clerical error.
