Are you considering these again? Have a couple people interested.

Thanks,

We've considered running mid-lengths again, but are still trying to get the standard barrels back up on schedule to where they are in stock majority of the times, so haven't had a chance to get back into thoughts on different configurations yet. 20" 7.62x39's with sight towers should be back available shortly, gas block versions will be a while.

Any word on the mid-length 5.56 barrels yet?

They are in the process right now, they should be around 4-6 weeks out at this point. We should have two versions of mid length's coming:

16" Gov't Profile Mid length 1x7 twist, 4150 CMV, M-4 feed ramps, F sights, chrome lined & non-chrome (chrome lined may be a few weeks longer)
16" Medium Profile Mid length 1x7 twist, 4150 CMV, M-4 feed ramps, F sights, chrome lined & non-chrome (chrome lined may be a few weeks longer)

What are the chances they'll be ready by Christmas, and do you have an ideal price?

For me, ideally I'd sell the barrels for $1k each, I'd have a much happier Christmas . Barring any problems they will be ready right around Christmas time. These were done in small batches for us, so I'll have to check on the invoice when they come in, but they should be in the ballpark of $285 for the barrel chrome lined, $235 non chrome, barreled upper around $425 chrome, $385 non chrome (+$110 for complete upper), and kits around $660 chromed and $610 non-chrome. I'd say +/- $25 right now. I'll know more in a few weeks when the barrels come in to start with sight towers, gas holes, & park.

We've done them a few times before, we were in the game early, but there was no demand, then just before the election we got a batch of barrels in, but everything instantly disappeared, and finally things have straightened up enough to get some of the things that were put on hold back in the fire. These barrels are going to be coming through with some other small batch configurations that we haven't offered before but have had requests for. In addition to the mid length's, we'll be offering 20" A-1 (they will have a ridge to accomodate the .750" HG cap, but will have the .625" FSB) 1x7 4150, 24" SS 1x8 Bull with spiral flutes, 16" A-1 1x7 4150, and a couple more that I can't remember off the top of my head.
