I currently have a BCA side charger upper and lower with Timber Creek lightweight furniture and a 16 in Faxon pencil barrel. This rig is SNAPPY and not great groupings, in general, vs a more standard build. My first pass will be to play around with an adjustable buffer weight (easy, inexpensive, not permanent). 1:8 twist is a good range for 69-77 grain decent ammo.
I'm 5'2", in the lower AARP age group, not extremely strong, and don't get to shoot very often. I want a less snappy and improved precision barrel for this rifle for 100-400 yds KD "square" range shooting a few days per year. I'm not competing, per se, but want to do reasonably well amongst more serious shooters on the line. Not willing to put more than $300 into a new barrel for these reasons.
Initial thoughts for a slightly better barrel that increase weight slightly and affordable:
Faxon 16 in heavy fluted (mid length gas system)
Faxon 18 in Gunner (rifle length gas system)
