You are going to have to buy a barrel anyway, and with most of the kits I've looked at, you are getting a pretty good deal on the barrel.
As for the head spacing/assembly, unless you are building it yourself (in which case I would say yes, it is worth it) I'd ask your builder what he thinks; don't want drop off your kit only to find that your builder doesn't prefer it that way. |

this will be my first build and that's why I wanted to know if its any benefit to the parts kit with the head space/assembled barrel due to it cost more. because the barre is in the trunnion with the hole already drilled with a pin in 1/2 way but you still have to double check the head space when you reinstall the barrel after you riveted the front trunnion.

There is a benefit if they do it right. A lot of companies are offering this option these days but that doesn't mean they know what they are doing. I did one from AKB, the headspace was acceptable but everything was canted one way or another. Pretty disappointing form someone that is suppose to be good.

I might go with the plum kit I was looking at the unissued kit from AOA but it was $70 more for unissued and I was looking at the plum kit from circle10 but they wanted $20 more for theirs. was also looking at the parts kit with barrel and headspaced from AOA but they don't have any in stock and they said that they would have more in but that's been over 3 weeks and lees armory kit too but im just don't know if its worth the extra $$$ headspace and worry if they are done correct with headspace and how the front sight is too

All but one of the pre-assembled barrels that I have received have been crap.
This includes a "big name" - who couldn't even be bothered to buy correct diameter pins. And who knows what he used for headspace, as it swallowed my NO GO. And then it took several months to get a replacement. While I can't speak for others, I pray for protection from the "helpers". PLEASE, don't help me. Just send the stuff unmolested. You don't want a gun assembled by a committee. One guy. Start to finish. |

I got my parts kit in yesterday and it was in good shape just covered in Cosmoline time to clean it today. all numbers matched except for the bayonet which was a mix match to its shelf but I knew that it would not match the kit but im happy with the parts kit and that it did come with a bayonet.
