CMMG 8.5" 300blk
Anyone using this barrel? I want one with the low profile gas block installed. I plan on running supers suppressed and not suppressed, as well as subs suppressed.

I just got mine in today. Looks of great quality! One thing though,when you include the gas block , it is NOT installed. Thats not a big deal to me but just thought i'd note that. I will be shooting subs out of a yhm can as well as supers this weekend.

Well, I've already got a low pro gas block, so if its not installed it's definitely not worth the additional $50. Thanks for the info.

I should have clarified a bit more, I was hoping that it would be installed and pinned in place. I would also assume that if it were installed by the factory, then the gas port and gas block would be properly aligned.smac61 wrote:What good would being installed be?lmb7784 wrote:Well, I've already got a low pro gas block, so if its not installed it's definitely not worth the additional $50.

My CMMG pistol-gassed barrel came dimpled for proper gas block alignment.

Unfortunately you would then have to unpin it and remove the block to put your barrel nut on for installation...lmb7784 wrote:I should have clarified a bit more, I was hoping that it would be installed and pinned in place.

As others have pointed out though, its dimpled so no issues. Does make the $50 a little hard to swallow.

As others have noted....yes it is dimpled which I forgot to mention.
Well I just got back from a. weekend filled with shooting my new black out cmmg barrel. Everything ran smoothly! I was using remington umc supers and subs. The only issues I had was a bad primer in one of the supersonic rounds.
I had to punch out the round with a cleaning rod. With using a vortex sparc, I was hitting a 18 x18" plate at 200 yards easily with the subsonic rounds. It was a real kick in pulling the trigger and hearing the gong which seemed like about a second later lol. Overall the barrel is great I love it! Now to reload some subs....
