Approximate Weight: 2lbs 1oz.
Purchased late October 2010. Beautifully machined. Appealing appearance with its Ionbond finish. The product description leaves out that there is a dimple on the barrel directly under the gasport for sight bases that use allen screws to secure the base to the barrel. No shots through it at this date, but I know in my heart it's a winner...
As of late January 2011, I have taken this barrel to the range and have shot it maybe 100 times. Very accurate. Puts them into the same hole at 50 and 75 yards with a 1X red-dot sight and an inexpensive scope from the world's largest retailer. I don't plan to sight it out any farther, but I believe this barrel will drill 'em just as well at 100, 200 and farther out. I am very pleased. Because this barrel is 410 stainless, it will still be shooting good when I'm geezing hard...
