Anderson Manufacturing just released a 450 BM Barrel, a complete upper, and a complete rifle.
I've never been disappointed with any Anderson components I've used before, so what the heck, I ordered the barrel for $153.00.
Nothing fancy: 18" chrome moly vanadium, heavy contour, mid length gas, 1:24 twist, 0.75" diameter at gas block, 5/8 x 32 threads.
Barrel extension was a nice snug fit in my upper receiver from Mid State Firearms. Used my BCG from Stoner.
Anderson lower with a Rock River 2 stage 3.5 lb Varmint trigger.
Anderson Mfg did NOT disappoint today. We're blizzarding here in Ohio today, so I was limited to just 70 yards in my warehouse .
Ran the first 30 rounds through without a single hitch. Group pic is 5 shots. The rest of groups were all similar. I love this round.
Load was 225 gr FTX over 40 grains of Lil Gun, CCI 41 primers, mixed brass.
