That has been the reputation with 2-3 MOA Russian ammo that performs the same in my Rem 700 heavy barrel vss that otherwise shoots 1/2 or better with Federal match ammo. If anyone happens to shoot submoa with wolf black box ammo in a bolt rifle, I would have to see that to believe it. Until then, I would have to believe it is the ammo that is the issue at hand.
Cut a 21" Saiga 308 down to 16" for accuracy?

Tell that to my buddy with a wrecked SCAR barrel he SBR'ed. About 100 rounds after being cut and crowned it started to shoot wildly unpredictable groups. You can see the chip missing from the muzzle under close inspection.
Try getting a replacement barrel for a SCAR from FN by the way...
It's not guaranteed to happen, but it certainly can. Believe what you want, but I've seen it happen.
Wow, this must be a new issue with SCAR barrels. I just did a search and found quite a few threads. This just does not usually happen with
AK barrels and I can't remember an AR15 cut and recrown where this happened also. I wonder what FN is doing different with the chrome lining?

The flaking on the link above looks like it is occuring a bit far from the crown's edge. I can't see how recrowning even would have caused flaking at a distance from the
cut area. Something seems wrong. Some tool might have galled the surface during the process. If this is the case, flaking can be avoided by using a better method.
