Please forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find anything about it, even on the Industry Announcements board. Per their website, Geissele now has two cold hammer forges and is going to be offering barrels as a separate item in the near future. According to the site, the barrels are CMV, Chrome lined, and come in 10.3", 11.5", 14.5" and 16" lengths. Finish is manganese phosphate. Price for all sizes is a very affordable $270. I am looking forward to trying one, and expect the quality to be to the usual Geissele standards. With such a plunge into this niche, it's safe to say that DD and FN are no longer the main players, especially with the price. Here's hoping that G has been paying attention to the community and gives us a .68 gas port, although it's not against the law to shoot cheap, under-powered ammunition, so the port dimension is likely to stay in the .70 vicinity.
