CMMG offers very good barrels to say the least. There is some controversy over whether or not CMMG uses the MIL-B CMV spec of steel in their barrel, though; someone who says he used to work from CMMG alleges they don't, but CMMG themselves has said on Arfcom and/or M4C that they do, and still advertises as such.

MistWolf Member. A cold hammer forged barrel is not worth the extra cost. CHF was developed by the Germans to make a lot of barrels rapidly for less cost per unit than other manufacturing methods. In fact, the CHF process is one reason Remington was able to make bolt action rifles economically in the post war years.

jordanka16. To me a heavy barrel is thicker than a normal a2 or military profile, whatever that may be. A bull barrel has no taper at all, same diameter from breech to muzzle.

It is true that forged pistons are heavier than cast pistons, but this is counteracted by the ability to provide a high compression ratio inside the engine, enabling the engine to rev higher and produce more power.

"Built off the legendary 700 action, the Remington 700 5-R sets the benchmark for accuracy and durability. Much like M-24, the barrel is cold hammer forged and features 5-R rifling. The 5R rifling profile increases barrel life expectancy, accuracy and creates less fouling and bullet deformation over time.

As the barrel is cold hammer-forged, a giant machine literally pounds the barrel from all sides around an internal carbide mandrel, which forms the rifling inside the bore. ... Following the drilling, the barrel rod is placed in CNC machines to be turned down to the correct outside shape and size and both ends are trimmed.

The biggest drawback is the barrels aren't chrome lined (which is why stainless steel is the next best for me) so I made this post to try and get a few pictures of mini 14 or 30 bores to see the rifling.

The Ballistic Advantage Hanson barrel has served me well. I'm testing out other barrels all the time but I know I'll be coming back to this one… especially for competition. Lightweight, accurate, and pretty good bang-for-the-buck…it's one of the barrels I wholeheartedly recommend in my Best AR-15 Barrels article.

The XD-E is hammer-fired, rather than striker-fired. It has a double-action/single-action firing system, so you have a long, hard double-action first shot and easy single-action shots from there after.

To answer the question directly: No, the Colt 6920 will not have a hammer forged barrel.

While the general function of the cold chamber machine is similar to hot chamber, cold chamber works with a horizontal orientation and does not have a gooseneck. Instead, the plunger forces metal through the shot chamber into the die at pressures ranging from 2,000 and 20,000 psi.

Quick Tip: Ball-Peen Hammers Use it to drive cold chisels, setting rivets, and shaping metal. The steel head of a ball-peen hammer is harder than the head of a claw hammer, so it's less likely to chip on contact.

Barrels are made from barrel blanks by many many many different companies (Colt, Noveske, Bushmaster, DPMS, etc. etc). Noveske uses Pac-Nor barrel blanks to make their barrels. FN is the ONLY company I can think of that manufactures barrel blanks and finished barrels from their own blanks.
