I ordered one today and the website popped up the index pin and gas tube pin automatically as special offers along with the shopping cart item (the barrel). I added the index pin but skipped on the gas tube pin.... a little under $3, and you can get them at the hardware store for like 25 cents.

Are these legit AAC barrels?
I didn't think AAC made a pistol length gas system for a 16" barrel? Their website only shows a carbine length gas system 16" barrel. http://www.advanced-armament.com/16-300-BLK-AR-Barrel_p_609.html |

Y'all sure the index pin doesn't come with the barrel? I got one of the 9" versions and it came with the pin uninstalled. It's easy to install, take a hammer and pound it in. That particular package came with the barrel, flash hider, gas block, tube, pin and index pin.

Hey everyone - I did in fact receive my barrel from Midwest - looks like a quality barrel, good nitride finish - the addition of the LoPro gas block that is pinned is pretty nice makes the deal even better!
This barrel in fact DOES NOT come with the index pin, so I hope you ordered one - if not, they are pretty cheap (try to get one with free shipping somewhere though) - I picked up the $2 AAC pin from Midwest when they had free shipping Overall I am pleased - pretty incredible deal in an industry where good products aren't found 'cheap' I will try to post some pics later - the deal is still available on the website, no free shipping though PW |

Mr. Brown dropped mine off today.. Came in a plain cardboard box with an AAC sticker on the outside along with UPS shipping labels. Mine did not have the extention pin either but I have a bag full of those pins from MSC and took about 2 mins and a punch/hammer to fix that problem. Barrel is marked "300 AAC BLACKOUT 1/7" at the muzzle end. Assembled the barrel on a new M4 cut flat top upper and a mid-length Troy TRX Battlerail that I had laying around in the shop without any issues. So far, not a bad deal for $130 shipped.. Range report next week after the SAR show is done with.

What's the rifling in these barrels?
IIRC, RSilvers stated on 300blktalk that AAC barrels were 5R (this was sometime ago he replied to my inquiry). |

Is pistol the correct length gas for this barrel? I pre-ordered the DSG complete upper but am thinking about grabbing this barrel to swap in for the 1:7 twist. I plan to shoot the heavier cast subs. Is it worth all the trouble? Or should I just stick with what I've got?

I emailed AAC about the barrels, and here was their response:
"It seems that it is our barrel, not sure how it got out, but it did. We have never sold them to anyone besides Remington owned companies. -Nick" So the barrels are legit. Not sure what to make about the second half of the statement. I'd assume someone might get fired.

With the lack of specs that were posted and are available I was wondering what would show up ...
Got two of them - same as others with the pin separate - no chrome and dirty !! I am glad to hear that they are in fact legit AAC barrels though ! Especially for the price !!!! Just need a couple pistol gas tubes and a couple flash hiders and can put something together. Look forward to what you guys experience with these.

Someone take some pictures of theirs, please Some of the 16" Noveske 300BLK barrels I had were 1/7 and also had pistol gas ports. Carbine gas ports are not suited for subsonic loads because the gas pressure is already low and once it's that far down the barrel, you don't have enough to cycle the gun. If all you're going to run is supersonic ammo, carbine position ports are fine. |

I realize Noveske and some lesser barrel manufacturer's use pistol on 16, but AAC never did before.
Getting subsonics to cycle without a suppressor aint my cup of tea either, have to wonder why AAC would go there. Some would call that a conflict of interest, right...

I measured the barrel width and came up with 0.7". According to Gemtech to attach their Sandstorm suppressor it needs a minimum of 0.7" shoulder. So with that information it should be fine to chop these barrels and attach at least a Gemtech Sandstorm suppressor with adequate shoulder.

tempting to have one cut down, but by the time you add that cost, might as well get a known qty from Rainier. I would be wary these barrels have some sort of issue and were meant for scrapping, but walked out the back door instead. I have seen that happen before.

 . I'll e-mail MGW and see what they say tomorrow.
