MAS Defense

Post by tcoz »

Hi everybody. Brand new member here and I'd like to ask a question. I'm sourcing a barrel for a budget 16" 300AAC upper build and wonder if anyone has had experience with MAS Defense barrels. Thank you and I'm looking forward to acquiring a lot of knowledge from this forum, especially since this is my first venture into the world of 300AAC.

Some of my readers have their 300 BLK barrels and they really like them. No complaints, and the ones I've seen in fight-focused training courses seem accurate enough for the type of intended purpose.

What do you plan on doing with your AR?

I have this one:

I am very happy with it. Not exactly match grade, but plenty accurate enough for hunting/home defense duty.

I'm looking at either their 14.5" (pistol gas) or 16" (carbine gas) barrel to rebuild a 5.56 into a match/hunting gun.

Great prices... Following this thread.

Guns are tools designed for dirty work both competitive and defensive. If I meet someone with a well worn gun, I hope their barrel is pointed the same direction as mine if the lead starts flying...

I'm looking at that barrel and also the non Govt Profile one. Both selling for the same price although the other one indicates regular price $10 higher. I don't know what would account for the difference except that this one says Chrome Moly Barrel and the other says 4120 Chrome Moly Barrel.

Edit- my mistake. One says its "4142 Hardened Chrome Moly Steel" and the other just says "Hardened Chrome Moly Steel".

I am not sure how the barrels will be at 300 yards. I have no information to say one way or the other. Most folks on my blog are shooting 150m or less. Distance in the defensive rifle classes I take is 100m max.

Let us know what you decide!

Yup, in my book they are GTG. I have one of their cheaper 8" barrels and it shoots fine. I plan on trying one of their 5.56 mid lengths soon. Shipping is as fast as I've ever experienced.
