Does anyone have any experience with the Contender carbine in the .223 Ackley?  I'm thinking about purchasing a barrel, any info would be greatly appreciated!!!  Thanks.

I have one in a 17.5 inch and also 14 inch.  Great little round.  Chronoed the 14 and was getting 3500 fps plus but haven't got to the 17.5 barrel yet.  That was with 40 gr Sierra Blitzkings and N-133 powder.
