Eabco barrels?

[jelenko]

The EABCO barrel I just changed to on my AR15 in 6ARC looks and shoots the same as the previous two 6ARC barrels I had on the rifle. Added a tuner brake and shoot 600 yard 8" plates each month. Results are not good and have never been good with that 6 ARC.

From Hornady to Starline brass - LVR powder and different bullets the results with the EABCO barrel are the same as the other two barrels I had - Bartlett custom and , I forget the first one. A few shots on target and then a shift in impact point.

To me the EABCO barrel is not the problem. I just cannot get any barrel in 6 ARC to shoot well.

That seems to leave something with the rifle, rest or with the shooter.

I would suggest reading Mike Bellm's pages regarding headspace and the TC platform. The issues with the contender are usually diagnosed in the relationship between the face of the reciever to the lug hole/frame dimensions, creating headspace issues in combo with the chamber length and concentricity with tthe bore.

Once you start to understand that, you will understand how one xxx brand barrel will shoot so good vs another xxx brand barrel that doesn't, in combo with your reciever.

Then you can start comparing xxx brand to yyy brand.

EABCO.
I have no contender experience but I have ordered the Savage and Remington barrels and all of them have been shooters and very nice barrels.
EDIT = I just finished installing a 28 Nosler barrel, perfect fit, can't wait to shoot it.
Hope this helps.

My first 6br barrel was A EAurther brown bbl.
It was what I compared everything too for a long time. It shot excellent.
