Comments/opinions?
I'd ideally like a 9" 1:7 but I've been waiting 3-4 months and I'm getting itchy.
Any issue with me using this for suppressed subsonics primarily?
I also like the pronounced thread relief at the shoulder.
I don't think it's made by Rainier because its not labeled as such.
But it does say it uses Green Mountain blanks.

8"-9" is optimal. The barrel above falls in that bucket.
I personally prefer KAK barrels. They too are cut from Green Mountain barrel blanks.

Well I want melonite and if that mr. Blonde melonite was 1:7 I'd pay the upcharge. Havent the faintest idea of why they make these in 1:8 rather than the better 1:7 for subs.

I'm pretty certain that "ranier" barrel is a KAK.
If it is, you can buy the same exact barrel from KAK for about $100, instead of $130 I paid at Ranier because I didn't know until afterwards.

When those totally ignorant of firearms make laws, you end up with totally ignorant firearm laws.

I agree, that looks exactly like the KAK. I bought the one from KAK and even the etching on the barrel is the same as the one pictured above.John A. wrote:I'm pretty certain that "ranier" barrel is a KAK.

Am I seeing a more pronounced thread relief on the Rainier?

Rainier has a Match barrel made from Rock Creek 5R blanks on their site. It is a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for, IMO. I have a 16" one, and it will shoot tiny groups.

I noticed the the Rainier product page had the following web address
https://www.rainierarms.com/kak-value-l ... ite-barrel
Notice the kak-value-line in the address
I'd have to agree that they were the same barrel
I ended up getting the KAK from KAK when they had the fathers day sale for $90.
Came yesterday and has a great thread relief and locks up tight to my Mystic can.
