So it's said that Armson barrels are quite and very accurate, at least the Stealth series are.

What does this new 2 piece barrel offer? :confused:

I found this thread when I did a search on Armson barrels b/c I'm considering one. I didn't know about the SSR until I read the thread.

So basically, it just adds (unnecessary) lengths to the barrel. From what I've been reading, the 16" is no better than the 13" so it sounds like a marketing scheme. So I think I'm going to try the 13" Stealth.

I'm a little burnt out on my Flatline not hitting the same spot up close (under 75'). It's just too inconsistent.

well there is not difference in accuracy in the armsons... but... the 16 inch offers u to aim down the side of the barrel easier, the 16 inch is quieter, and there is more rifling inside so it *might* be more accurate. For other barrels this does not obtain to because rifling isn't used except for porting.

I personally would just buy dye or smart parts. They just seem to be the best.
