    Default My 5.56 Wyatt Earp

    At least that is what I thought I had received when I looked at the stamp on the new barrel. After closer inspection it actually read "5.56 Wylde ARP". Either way, the barrel's namesake is a great shooter. Now I just gotta find the ammo it likes best for the longer shots. Anyone have any experience with H's 20" 5.56 barrel and the ammo it likes best?

    I would have preferred an 18", but his machine for cutting them down is "offline". I assume it's in preparation for the move. Maybe I can get him to do it later after he's moved. Until then I'll just have to "suffer" through shooting a 20" .

    Shot 2 3-gun matches this weekend and the barrel/bolt ROCKED! I was worn out, but giddy with delight and did pretty well too. Believe it or not, I forsee NO voluntary changes for this rifle in the future. I know what everyone says..."no changes for now", or "they're never REALLY done"...but damn it, I mean it. No changes. I love it as is.
