Never been to Cola Warrior, but the rail system rocks! http://s14.postimg.org/nlzrx52pt/cwar.jpg Doesn't matter, that's a CWAR. ETA: I think that means you have to attend Cola Warrior |

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. |

I have the White Oak Armament via Brownells. Great barrel, crazy price.

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

View Quote Lightweight barrels WILL start stringing after half a mag. 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 |

I think that when I really decide to go for an ultra lightweight build, I'll just do something financially inadvisable and get one of those swanky carbon fiber wrapped barrels. WOA it is. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

So Spikes has tried to make a "female friendly" rifle, given it a patronizingly absurd name, and put a flash enhancer on it for good measure.
http://www.spikestactical.com/st-pure-estrogen-midlength-rifle-p-1241.html And it's still over 6 1/2 pounds. Dat flash: Shoulda got a She-CWAR. |

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. |
