7.63x39 Gunner 5R
Great grouping/accuracy with Belom, Norma-TAC, Winchester T&P, and Sellier & Belloit factory ammo, all brass cased. I did shoot a mag of S&B mint box steel case from the late 90's and it did well too. I used a Faxon upper forging, a Faxon 13" G handguard, and Faxon Lightweight Gas block. The BCG is a BrownelI .I put a Vortex Sparc red dot on, but this barrel shot so very well, I may put a LPVO on it later.

16" mid length 7.62x39
Been waiting on this barrel for a while. Fit and finish was great, get one if you can.

Good Buy
Head spaced right and shoots straight. I wish it were dimpled though. I ended up throwing on the gas block as is because the drill press wasn't even putting a dent on the nitrided surface. I shot a bunch of steel and brass cased ammo through it without problems. The gas port size is correct, it cycles and locks open as it should.
