I have not used it yet, but I have been using brass stock 6.08 barrels in most of my builds for quite some time, so this is still bigger bore (yet slightly smaller) and should in theory be more consistent.

I find the brass much better than any aluminum or fibre glass composite barrels/hybrids and any tightbore I have used. Those never gave me the results I wanted. I find the brass does not vibrate as much as these types of barrels, maybe because it is softer and heavier? Is the brass more forgiving than a steel barrel, could be, I do not really know but I know what has worked for me so I stuck with it. Brass barrels are easy to clean and polish as well with a C7 cleaning kit brass jag and 2x4 patch.


I always went back to stock except in one gun I have that has an unknown barrel (It is grey and at least 12 years old and it does work really well how ever it was designed but I have no idea of the make or model (could be systema or maybe guarder brass barrel coated in a silver-grey colored Lucid Chromium Plating metal ?)
