More to a barrel than price. I know you're on a super tight budget... but who's ever heard of Tactical Ambush?

How do you afford to feed your guns?
Affording to feed my guns isn't easy. Then again, since I can't spend a lot buying ammo, I just don't get to shoot as much as I'd like. I didn't know about Tactical Ambush at all - I found them doing internet searches for barrels. I admit though that I do like the fact that the Faxon 10.5" barrels are carbine length gas systems. For $18, yep, I may very well buy theirs to have the carbine length gas system. i do have some 7.62 ammo that I bought back when I had my SKS that I traded for my 1911 .45. For my .45 I got lucky and picked up 400 rounds of ammo at a yard sale for $50 2 summers ago. 7.62 ammo is cheap cheap and that's part of the appeal for building this in 7.62 - plus I'd like to be able to shoot the 7.62 ammo I do have. I also have a friend up the valley who's loaded to the gills with 7.62 ammo.
