 20" LW CL barrel?

Do you make these or have any plans to? Preferably in a fast twist? If so, is there any chance I could get one without the front sight base installed?

Thanks,
Blake

I doubt that we will ever run 20" LW barrels, as there is no supplier that still makes the LW triangle HG caps, everyone changed their die to the .750 diameter. The only way that the contour could be done would be to go LW contour in behind and in front of the sight tower, and the sight tower be .750, which would not look right, nor be the correct way of doing it.

Bummer. Seems like someone would make the caps if they were asked. Wonder if CMMG was using NOS GI caps or had some made...?

madmanblake - I haven't asked Jeff about that, I assumed they were using NOS like we were for our LW dissipator barrels (which we may not be running again unless we can solve the HG cap problem).

votefromrooftops - We've ran a couple of small batches for some of our OEM customers about a year or so ago, and so far none of them have reordered that contour. There is always a chance that we might run a batch, but it's not currently not on the production schedule.
