It would probably be a pain in the butt to set up the shot though, you can't just walk over and adjust the camera like you can with a tripod. It'd be a bummer to shoot a scene, then realize that you were 1/4 out of frame. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I like the drone idea. That or maybe mount it on the apex of a large tent frame sans tent. Folding canopies are rigid enough to hold light equipment, I clamp spotters and wind meter equipment to mine. You could probably mount or suspend a camera relatively easily from one. Set-up and recovery would be easy for a smaller canopy frame. It would probably be a pain in the butt to set up the shot though, you can't just walk over and adjust the camera like you can with a tripod. It'd be a bummer to shoot a scene, then realize that you were 1/4 out of frame. A gopro with wireless sends capture/feed to any compatible phone. I do that shit all the time for work. It takes a couple of seconds. |

Sadly your webpage does not list a weight for the 416r Flame for comparison... Can you tell me what it is? Thank you. Flame comes in about an ouncertainty lighter. Well that's a new unit of measure I've not heard of.  I was wondering when you'd show up here. Been subscribed and lurking for a goodly while now. Just lurking for a 14.5 pencil announcement.

It's not the barrel's finish that matters, it's what's on the muzzle device. pin just provides a mechanical lock...the weld just holds it in place through the muzzle device. You're not actually welding on the barrel when you pin something. |

Quick google turned up a place called texas tactical gear. put those three words together and add a dot com. No experience with them, so no idea if they're great or awful or fair to middlin.
Riflegear.com also does it, they state 35 bucks on their website (your barrel, your muzzle device). |

Might even be a smith local to you that can do it while you wait. Melonited barrels are a good bit harder, and can be hard on tooling. A once- or twice-off thing isn't a big deal; cobalt bit and you're good to go. But for a business like ADCO to continually get them day in day out....that can cause a tooling bill to wander into the stratosphere pretty quickly. I totally understand their decision. I'm fortunate enough to have a pard locally who's also a licensed smith and will be happy to put a weld over a pin for me. I just have to get it ready for him to weld.

Any thoughts on making a 14.5" barrel with the same profile of the 16" SOCOM barrel? I am interested in a 14.5" barrel but hate that your current offering weighs more than the 16" barrel and not interested in a LW barrel either.
I might have missed it so sorry if this is repetitive but are you offering services to cut down and re-crown barrels? I would be interested in having you cut down a 16" to 13.75-14.5" if the service is available and decently priced. |

Just discovered this when looking for a 10.5 nitride barrel. Eta when this will be back in stock?
Also, could you elaborate more on your nitride process including if you drill the gas hole before or after? What about the extension and chamber. Sorry for the noob questions, im a long time chrome lined guy but starting to believe the melonite can be superior if done right. |

Nathan,
I finally got off my duff and got out to at least BZO the irons on my lightweight build using your 16" pencil profile barrel: 
Consider this a preliminary range report since this is just the 25M BZO. This is a photo of my "home-made" 25M BZO targets. These are all 5-shot groups. I shot top left first, then top right and finished in the center. I was losing daylight so I stopped there. From what I got out of the last group it looks like this little rifle will be a tack-driver! 
Hope to give you guys a longer and more in-depth report range report soon. Edit: Finally got around to weighing this little rifle. According to a Rapala digital fish scale - 5.99 pounds empty. |

Federal 55gr FMJ. I put 30 rounds through it yesterday. The first 15 rounds were on another target just to get close, then the last three groups on what I posted for final BZO of the irons. I've got an M16A4 clone that I need to get sighted in also, then I'll start playing around with heavier projos. and see what each one likes.

Nathan,
Forgive me for bumping this thread, as I saw the other on the first page, however I've got a few questions for you. In regards to your 5.56 10.5" barrels: -Are the threads concentric? -Have you guys had luck running them suppressed? -What's the gas port size? (I believe I read .081" on Aims site?) Long story short, I'm putting together a 3rd SBR which will be run suppressed basically 100% of the time. This'll be for the kids and guests, so I want reliability and light weight. Doesn't have to break the bank because it'll be a blaster, plain and simple. Are Faxon barrels up to the challenge of this task? |

Yes, all threads on all our barrels are "suppressor-ready". Yes, we have run them suppressed on a regular basis. In fact, one barrel has only run suppressed for 5000 rounds with minimal cleaning. Gas port is .081 on the 10.5" carbine-length barrels. The barrel will run great suppressed, but we will recommend an adjustable gas key or gas block if you plan on running it that way 100% of the time. No sense in always overgassing your system.

Yes, all threads on all our barrels are "suppressor-ready". Yes, we have run them suppressed on a regular basis. In fact, one barrel has only run suppressed for 5000 rounds with minimal cleaning. Gas port is .081 on the 10.5" carbine-length barrels. The barrel will run great suppressed, but we will recommend an adjustable gas key or gas block if you plan on running it that way 100% of the time. No sense in always overgassing your system.

Is it possible to get one without the pinned gb? Aim webpage only shows barrels with gas blocks. Thanks |

Or can you guys offer one with an A2 front sight already installed? |

We currently do not offer any directly drilled from us and do not offer the customization (yet). We will have the capability online later this year. |
