Well, they do offer the Taccon/Bumpfire COMBO

Never heard of them otherwise, have all their own branded stuff

I just ordered one of their 16" 1:8 barrels. Website showed 'out of stock- back orders ok'.  I called them and a real person answered the phone. She said she thought they actually did have them but the site wasn't updated. She took my info and called me back 5 minutes later to verify that they did have them, and it should ship in 2 days.
They are all on sale right now, with a deal on pistol barrel combos.
I'll report back when in-hand.

Ordered a 8.5" Matchgrade SS QPQ 7-Twist for $99.  Will let everyone know what it looks like when it comes in.

Would rather save the $25 because the GB and stock would just go into the spare parts bin.

Weird-  2 posts in this thread disappeared...one was mine...

Anyway- I just got a shipping notice from them, my barrel is on the way.

Keep us posted, that 11.5 or 10.5 is something I've got my eye on for a budget build.

I'll have to get a lower. I really like the "rollmark"

ok, UPS delivered yesterday afternoon. 16" SOCOM profile, 1:8 twist.
It was in a plastic bag with a very light coat of oil, then wrapped in bubble wrap, shipped in a box.



unwrapped it, looked it over. No machining marks anywhere, smooth angles-no burrs, etc. Nice crown, good looking threads. Nice looking feed ramps. Good looking rifling. (what looks like burrs or a nick in the feedramps is the light reflecting...)








Quality wise, I'm extremely happy.
This is going into a Spike's recon style build that I need a couple more small parts for, so I won't be able to give a range report for a while. For the price, getting a better than a 'run-of-the-mill' 416 stainless barrel held to 'match grade' standards is hard to beat.

I'll update as soon as possible...

sadly, no. Hopefully by the weekend I'll get it sandblasted to knock off the shine, and get the upper painted. It is super tight in the AH forged Aero upper I want to use- tried it in a Cerro from Anderson and it slipped right in and out...tried another barrel in the Aero, and it was easy in/out...I guess the two together are at the closer end of tolerances, which is ok since I'm building a Recce style...

My 8.5" QPQ came in and the machining and coating look great.  Fits tightly in my 2A Balios-Lite Upper.  Won't be able to test fire for another few weeks but the rifling looks good and I don't see why it doesn't perform equal to or better than an equivalent barrel made by any of the top tier barrels.
