I have a Bushy 20" H-bar that shoots into 1" to 1 1/4". I will be using it for coyotes and am considering putting on something like a JP/Bushy varminter/YHM ventilated FF handguard. How much of an increase in accuracy can I generally expect by switching from factory snap-on's to FF's? Also, would changing from the front sight base to a gas block and fluting affect accuracy other than POI? Thanks |

If you are getting 1.25" groups without a freefloat handguard now, you have a good barrel. With a good barrel, you ought to shave 14" to 1/2" off the groups. You may also need a better trigger at the same time to realize all the benefit. Upgraded trigger, ammo and a freefloat handguard are all it usually takes to get the best accuracy possible from a given barrel. The front sight or gas block will have a negligable effect on accuracy. Fluting can have anywhere from no accuracy effect if done right to a negative effect if done poorly. I have never heard of fluting having a positive effect on accuracy. |
