Pretty good deal there. May have to look back into it in a day or two once I know for sure what $ I have to work with after stock kit order, check deposit, and the 'honey I need...' list, lol

I took a look at that barrel UWone pointed out. It's a good deal for sure. The barrel is already grooved for the gas block pin too.

LOL.... are people able to make a barrel for under $65?!

**camomike** · 26 November 2014, 17:37

Might be selling them a t a loss just to move product. Gun industry is tight right now. Get it while you can.

**HardEight** · 26 November 2014, 18:04

I would imagine in bulk with the right material and labor contracts you could probably manufacture one of those for pretty cheap. That is a good deal though. But I'm not real sure about the company. Haven't heard much about them yet.

But for that price I can do my own T&E!

yep, and knowing my luck by the time my damned check shows up it will be out of stock

**Computalotapus** · 27 November 2014, 07:23

Wish it was an 18" barrel lol

**UWone77** · 27 November 2014, 11:38

Just keep in mind you typically get what you pay for, especially when it comes to barrels. At $65, it might be worth it to take a flier on, but just be realistic about the performance, and the possibility it may not be built to specs.

I took a flier on the AAC barrel, simply because it was from AAC. I'll report back with some shooting.
