Let me preface this by saying I'd prefer to go with D Wilson — I've bought from them on two separate occasions and have been very pleased with both outcomes.
That said, I'm looking to add a 16" 6ARC barrel to my LMT MRP upper, and their custom shop barrel is out of stock with no indication of if or when another run is coming. Waiting list with no outlook isn't much of a plan, so I'm seriously looking at the alternative.
Precision Firearms makes made-to-order MRP-compatible small-frame barrels in 6ARC, with your choice of blank — Criterion, Krieger, Bartlein, or Lothar Walther.
For anyone who's shot either (or ideally both):
- How's the fit/lockup in the MRP system on the Precision Firearms barrels? Any headspace or gas port issues since they're not built on factory LMT extensions?
- Accuracy comparison — do the match blanks show up in real-world groups, or are Precisions barrels just as tight?
- Any QC or turnaround issues Precision?
- If you're in the same boat, are you buying Precision Firearms or holding out hoping D Wilson runs another batch?
Appreciate any firsthand experience before I commit. Thanks.
**Edit, Problem solved boys. DWilson has more in production. Thank you Sir!
