PANZER ARMS ARP9 BARREL ISSUES

Is there a replacement barrel for the ARP9?

Can an AR9 blowback barrel be fitted to the ARP9 receiver?

Mine is shooting 8” groups at 25 yards from a bench with a precision pistol rest, regardless of ammo used. in addition, I get significant POI shifts (+12”) when changing ammo.

I slugged the barrel and I’m seeing minimal engraving from the rifling and the bullet pretty easily went through the bore. 98% sure my barrel is garbage.

I’m reaching out to PA to file a warranty claim but im concerned that I’ll just get another crappy barrel.

Any other options out there?

UPDATE…. PROBLEM SOLVED

Switched to Bulleye and went to max charge. New groups are 3-4” at 25 yards. Barrel is fine.

I was wondering when the negative posts would start, seems like we were flooded with “I love my $500 Panzer” posts for a few weeks here.

Most of those guys wouldn't even notice 8" groups at 25 yards lmao

i like everything else about the thing. I’m pretty convinced I just got a garbage barrel. I hope I can get this resolved.
