Cola Warriors, I have a Mk8 in DDC on the way, and will be putting together my first full sized CWAR. Suggestions on barrel? I already know the basic specs, looking for an accurate, 16-18" barrel you'd recommend.

Anyone buy and try the mk8 yet?
I'm still on the fence and unsure, may want the MKIVM0, it is lighter afterall. |

Hmmmm...decisions, decisions. WOA 18" (which I've heard really nice things about) or Centurion lightweight, for significant weight savings.

You may or may not care about that. It doesn't significantly hurt your ability to make hits on steel at CW, but it will fuck up your nice little groups on paper. If you care. My wife's She-CWAR is under 6 pounds, and it's wonderful to carry. My 18" CWAR is around 7lb, and is nicer to shoot. Both will get the job done. You could also spend more money and go with a fluted match barrel to try to split the difference, but frankly, I wouldn't bother. |

If you want an 18" barrel, Surplus Ammo has Black Hole Weaponry barrels 20% off and a free SAA upper. My CWAR variant is rocking that barrel and upper.
18" rifle gas, 1:8 twist, Polygonal rifling |

That's as I understand it. And they had five thousand patches (not a typo), so it might be a while.
Or maybe it won't take that long? They keep putting out new stuff like the Mk8 and it might go pretty quick. You're going to love those gas blocks, by the way. |
