    Default Re: Truvelo AR rifles, including 300BLK

    Got to handle them. The fit and finish seems excellent.Saw an advert, 223 at R21000 and 300BLK at R25000. So still fair prices for a hopefully decent AR. I agree on the 300BLK barrel length, glad they do have the 9" option.

    9” is enough for any man. I would sell my car before I sell my 9” .300Blk AR.

    KEYMOD! Why bloody KEYMOD? Why is it South African gun designers tend toward obscure trends in firearms.

    However, the 14" is tempting.

    I’m wondering if their barrel material is similar to 4150 chrome moly vanadium used in the US? But I guess a company that offers a 20mm sniper rifle must know a thing or two about barrels.

    A quick look at the bolt carrier group would also be a good way to see if they are serious about their manufacturing.

    I wonder how much of the rifle is manufactured here. I'd assume you'd need to move substantial volumes to justify the additional capital outlay required to setup to manufacture components rather than sourcing them from mass producers in the US and elsewhere. I really hope they are manufacturing though and wish them the very best with the venture.

    Apart from barrels which they already make it would be insane to manufacture the rest. Parts are so cheap in the US given the volume. Truvelo do have amazing ability though.

    As DS noted. I've also not noticed an improvement with a longer barrel.

    Which I put down to the complete burn of the powder, unlike a short 5.56 which is still burning at pretty much most barrel lengths under 18"

    Allegedly, both the DM4 and Musgrave AR's are now being built with Truvelo barrels and are assembled by Truvelo. Not the same guns by any means, just built in the same shop.
    I also like the fact that Truvelo cold-hammer-forge their barrels.

    The DM4's are now using Truvelo barrels.

    Why would Musgrave/Wildman use someone elses barrel plant when they have their own?

    Reviving this thread, specifically to get some feedback from guys that bought the 300 black.

    Your views now on build quality, reliability, rounds through gun, etc.?

    I am hunting for a 300 black but they are currently like hence teeth it seems.
