Anderson 16" 1-8 M4 barrel review

[triehl27]

I wanted to post this up now that I have 1200 or so rnds thru it.

I build this rifle last year as a cheap plinker, not expecting much.
-Anderson Upper,
-Anderson Lower,
-Anderson LPK
- Anderson 16" m4 1:8 barrel
- muzzle brake
- Vortex Strikefire red dot

Today I ran 90rnds through it at 100yds, and came out with a 2" wide hole in the center of the target.
The groups were shot from a cement bench off sandbags.

The tighter group is 90rnds of American Eagle 55grain FMJ red box. Edit 2" wide hole, with flyers bringing it to 3"
The looser group is 30rnds Wolf Poly 55grain FMJ (Still not a bad group from an unmagnified optic) 4" group

Edit... And the pics won't load...

OVERALL, the Anderson barrel I am shooting, I recieved from Primary Arms, for about $70.
