HRA Garand with LMR barrel

[stand125]

I recieved my HRA Service grade garand today. It has an HRA Bolt and an LMR Barrell with a muzzle reading of H. Can somebody shed a little bit of light on the LMR barrel. The gun is in really nice shape with a new CMP stock.

Congratulation. Remember to post the obligatory pics.

LMR barrel Birmingham, AL are very good barrels and known for their quality/accuracy. They were installed on IHC and some on HRA (like your rifle). They are accurate barrels and IMO more accurate than any barrels SA, WRA & HRA made. In fact from my experience, it is just behind the darling of all barrels VAR.

As far a MW, it should not be an alpha but numerical number like 0 for .30, 1 = .301, 2= .302, 3 = .303 etc. Where did you see the "H" from the hang tag?

[stand125]

The tag states an H for the muzzle.

From CMP? If so then the person that put it on was either drunk or high on drugs. No such thing as "H" MW.

That's not an "H", its a +1!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The armorer didn't write it very carefully......

That does make sense. It definately threw me off. So now to figure out if it is a +1 or a 1+

[pro-nra]

1+.

You should post your HRA over on the CMP Forum. They have a special listing for HRA Garands that have LMR barrels on them.

Sounds like a good catch, MW=1+ LMR. That's near new.

What's the chamber reading?

it is a reading of 2

Yep, Very nice indeed. Near new.

Testing has found that chambers wear at a rate of ~ 0.001 (One gauge number) per 2,000 rounds fired, the muzzle at a rate ~ 1/3rd that.

So, if it starts losing its accuracy at something like ME=3/TE=8...?

There is a good 10-12,000 rounds of shooting in that Barrel, and LMR makes a very good one.

Clean it, Grease it, Shoot it...

(and please post some nice pics)
