New Barrel???

[jnmorris]

Has S&W come out with a new Barrel for the MP10 ? Id like to see a little heavier barrel and not the skinny one they have now anyone know if they have or anyone else makes one to fit ?

Most of us are in the same boat. I haven't seen any aftermarket barrels for this rifle. You would think that with the demand for better barrels they would have started on some by now. I have called other custom barrel companies and none would even bother attempting to make one for it either due to it not being armalite or dpms specs

What will a heavier barrel do the current barrel will not?

It will perform powerful magic!

Raise the rifle's weight to over 8 pounds without optics.

The Ma., NJ., CT. compliant model of the S&W M&P10 has a barrel that carries it's diameter/weight all the way to the end of the barrel. It's not a bull barrel by any means. However it closely resembles what Colt calls their HBar barrel. According to the S&W specifications, it weighs exactly the same as their other model. Guess the amount of extra metal left in the barrel is exactly offset by the missing weight of that big ole S&W flash hider. Personally, I don't think I'll ever shoot my Big Ten fast enough or long enough to notice any differences. Iffin' I shoot a 308 fast enough to change POI by heating the barrel, then I definitely am gonna change POI more with the soreness of my shoulder. Besides, I ain't man enough to hold the muzzle down while doing tricks like that. Recoils gonna' make more difference that any barrel heating I'm gonna' do.

The barrel with the flash suppressor is a better profile than the compliant barrel as it's thicker at the chamber where all the heat is generated and has a better balance
