What would be more accurate? an EdGI ported bull barrel or a PDI barrel? I'm just wondering because I'll be getting a VSR or BAR-10 soon and want the best barrel available.

Thanks for all replies

An EdGI has slightly better groupings at 150 feet, but not enough to make a large difference.

Also the EDGI barrel is cheaper, so better grouping plus lower price . . .

that's strange, because TCF said that PDI gets better groupings because of its tolerances, but against an EdGI ported barrel, I don't know.

i would go with PDI. if i remeber they are steel and PDI is brass. i have a PDI 6.01mm 430mm barrel and it performs amazingly.

PDI is slightly better, but the EdGI isn't far behind thanks to the thicker barrel (and porting, if he'll do that).  They're a LOT cheaper, and not worse enough for the difference to matter, in my opinion.  A PDI 6.01mm costs what, 150 or so?  Compare to 85 for a 6 flat barrel, or less for a 6.01mm EdGI.

Is there a major differance in accuracy between an EdGI 6.01 and an EdGI 6.00?

No other then the .01 difference in diameter.

AA has them for something like $114.

I asked him about this. He said there wasn't really a difference until you start getting down to around 300mm, then the 6.00mm pulled ahead.

Okay, so you are saying that the EdGI is slightly more accurate but a pdi is better because of durability and consistency? Im trying to decide between the two.

[mhiagb hiruio]

no, he's saying that PDI is slightly more accurate AND better, but EdGI is close due to its price, porting, and reducing vibrations.
