Centurion Arms has offered this type of hammer-forged barrel for a few years now. I have one in 5.56 NATO and its very accurate and cleans-up well with that thick chrome lining.
Is "Machine Gun Steel" the opposite of "Mild Steel"? :roll:

Hummm, too tight or too loose? I wonder if I should invest in a set of guages. I ordered a PSA kit last week. . .

Edit: Have you contacted PSA on this yet? If so what did they say?

chamber is much too loose. only found out saturday afternoon, after PSA was closed. i will try to contact them monday, i guess i get to find out how PSA's customer service is.

everyone building a rifle should have gauges. i have 5.56 gauges, still trying to find someone with 300blk gauges in stock.
