Steelborn1 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I just got mine. Melonite coating looks great. Gas hole is proper diameter. So far so good. M4 feed ramps look good too. Hopefully get her to the range this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindfield Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 No CL? Wonder how the Melonite will hold up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLShooter Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 No CL? Wonder how the Melonite will hold up It varies with cartridge. In the 556 it will probably give you 50% more barrel life over CM. In a 243 Winchester smoker maybe 25%. For most shooters even truly wearing out a regular CM barrel is just not in the cards if they have more than one rifle to shoot.
