Order a McGowan and be done. Worth every second of the wait.

I forgot about them. But nothing shorter then 14” it says in their drop down menu

**SINNER** · 28 November 2020, 18:30

Call them. They did a 12.5” .338 Fed for me about a year ago. And they just did a 13.7” .308 for a friend.

Well to update

A 12.5” RA ultramatch and PRI fat boy gas tube was acquired for a deal to good to pass on. Lightly used as the old owner was tired of fireballs..

So...To be continued...

I'm watching this thread, hot on your heels. I've been considering this for a couple years. I built a 16" 308 that turned out great on a 2A Armament Xanthos receiver set 2 yrs ago. Traded it for sewer work that was needed on the house. Guy loves it. Now I want to do a 12.5".

Haha cool.

I Just got my Yhm brake and slr 7, shims inbound and then just need a rail To put the upper together and see where it goes. Adjustable gas block and pri tube and starting with a h3 and Armalite buffer tube and spring ( A5 length ) Should be a good start.

This one looks interesting, 11.5 Rainier UltraMatch.

Wonder what contract they were produced for?

LMT is going to make the 14.5" .308 piston MARS-H/MWS (the Estonian military rifle) available to the public this year.

Go to 20:09

Nice. I wish.

Love the LMT vid. He could have edited out 20 minutes of hmms, but it wouldn’t have been as authentic. I have one splurge in the budget for this year (Besides a new truck.) and a short .308 may be it. But likely will be an ACE in 7.62x39. Unless they make more 5.45s before the hole in my pocket develops.

It was a live stream, so...

It was the second one, so it's also worth going back and looking at January's if you are an LMT fan. First Monday of every month is what he's promising. I like the they are upping their outreach to the commercial / civilian market.
