Adams Arms piston kits

What is 4guys/Adams Arms saying about the barrel?

I haven't contacted them yet. I want to take it to the range and see how it shoots first. Going to document it with video and contact Adams Arms/Voodoo Innovations with my findings. It's pretty frustrating waiting for as long as we did, getting it broken up into 2 shipments, then getting a musket barrel.

How does your rifling look on your 7.5"? Can you see it plain as day?

Yeah I looked down Brandon's barrel and I didn't see anything. It looked like a musket.

Still can't see any traces of rifling in my barrel. It's disconcerting.

Have you never looked down a Glock barrel?

[KBScobravert]

Let me check.

Nope. Rifle and pistol rods only.

Actually, minus a plunger and the bolt return spring, I have a complete kit in either rifle or pistol.

What size. I have a few

Well, I want to do a carbine length 10" gun with a piston.

I am an op rod away from another rifle.

My pistol kit finally showed up today. Barrel has rifling and everything looks as expected.

All I need is sights, a barrel nut and a muzzle device and it I have another ready to rock upper.

I'm in Dallas. Deep Ellum area. It has the A2 FSP, but the post, spring, and detent did not come with it.

It's actually a 7". It's this one below. I'll let it go for $150 shipped USPS priority.

Just what he needs, a half inch less length.

[CJ]

Oh, you're not local to me? Does it have the gasblock/front sight?

[Brandon-k]

So, about that 7.5" barrel...

It's a Voodoo Innovations Barrel. Can't find any info on what kind of rifling they use. Looks smooth as hell though. Through me for a loop.

VDI Barrels are machined from Chrome Moly Vanadium Steel, polygonal rifled and chambered in 5.56. They are finished with a proprietary LifeCoat treatment inside and out. LifeCoat is a molecular bonding process allowing chemicals to seep down below the surface area as opposed to merely adding a top layer associated with chrome barrels. This means that the barrel can be cut to a true rifle bore while maintaining complete corrosion resistance and virtually no wear. Now you have the accuracy and efficiency of stainless steel barrel, with the durability of a chrome lined barrel.

So, about that 7.5" barrel...
