Long story, short: I'm looking to have my factory barrel reduced to 16.25" OAL.
I contacted ADCO about this Thursday and a nice guy named Steve informed me that yes, they could do it. However, comma, he said that I would have to remove the barrel myself as they didn't have the tools for it. I thought that if these guys, a going commercial concern, couldn't remove the barrel then there was no way that I could - not having *any* tools/resources/etc. available to me. I thanked Steve for his fast response to my question and politely declined.
Thought I'd give the horde at ARF a try and bradpierson26 suggested that I speak to Mike @ Nodak Spud about this; I said "I'll drop him a line. I've been saving up my pennies for his new machined AR-180 lower, so why not this, too?"
What say you?
Pax,
Ed
