Re: Faxon 7.5" 1:8 vs BA 8" 1:7 Twist for subs and supers

Thank you for the replies and the useful info. I guess my only question relates to how to manage supers and subs on the same platform?

Re: Faxon 7.5" 1:8 vs BA 8" 1:7 Twist for subs and supers

So should I just keep the Faxon 7.5” 1:8 twist? The reviews on the Faxon are really good with sub MOA accuracy, versus returning it and keeping the BA 8” 1:7 twist barrel.

Faxon 7.5" 1:8 vs BA 8" 1:7 Twist for subs and supers

I decided to finally build a 300BLK pistol after seeing the SB-Tactical Q brace. So I purchased a Faxon 7.5" 300BLK Gunner 1:8 barrel and a Daniel Defense MFR XL 9" handguard to cover a small amount of my suppressor or Linear Compensator. Upon doing more research I saw a lot of folks say s...
