Message: <blockquote data-quote="henschman" data-source="post: 2610844" data-attributes="member: 4235">My barrel doesn't appear to have the barrel stamping pressed through, though I do notice what looks like a little raised ring in the grooves near the muzzle.  It would be interesting to slug it.  I haven't noticed any issues, but I've only ever shot it from unsupported field positions... not even using a sling... mostly to get a rough zero and to function check it.  I got some 2-4 MOA groups with surplus ammo doing that.  Now that it runs, I will do some more work with it and get a better idea of what it will do.The pencil barrel was the whole reason I bought the rifle.  It is one of the few that comes with at least an 18" barrel in a lightweight profile that is either nitrided or chrome lined.  It weighs less with a scope than my M1 does with just irons.</blockquote>
