New guy ordering a barrel
 
Hi all, I'll be ordering a Lothar Walther barrel in the next couple of days and thought I would get your 2cents on exactly how I should order it. I had planned on ordering a 16in 1:8 twist with a standard carbine length and size gas port. I plan on shooting this, almost exclusively, using 200+ gr bullets with a suppressor. Would ya'll do anything different? Also, I ordered an adjustable gas tube for it because it made my 6.5Grendel run so much cleaner. Is there any advantage to this? From what I've read here many of you are having trouble building enough pressure using subs, much less trying to lessen it.
Thanks

doug, if you know you're only going subsonic.... gas port in the pistol position, and ditch the adjustable tube.

Great site! After a little looking around here I called and talked to tp555. Needless to say I sent him a check for one of his barrels and adjustable gas blocks. Super nice guy and a great value. Can't wait to get it.

Texdouge1, congradulations on getting into the sub-suppressed game. It will give you plenty to play and think about. I think I met a friend of yours at Mac's yesturday. PM you
