My factory SBR just cleared the ATF. I need to go pick it up from my dealer ASAP!

I saw them listed on the site for the first time in a long time the other day but they were OOS.
I'd totally get one if I didn't have one from the initial batch. |

Decisions. I feel like the spare parts make it worthwhile. |

Even if you don’t want the spares, at these prices, get the complete kit and sell whatever you don’t want. I did and along with selling the stock 16” barrel broke even. So I’m into my SBR for only the $799 plus tax that I paid from Academy.

The bolt carrier alone is $363 from Brownells. The folding stock assembly is $79 if you ever break yours.
It's worth it for the extra $300. If they really are discontinued, spare parts are going to command a premium. |

Been following this thread for a while now. My local Academy has 2 in stock and they said they have not received any new shipments in over a year. If they are really discontinued I feel like I should go pick it up...

I can confirm my factory SBR does not have the two stage trigger, but the trigger it does have isn't bad. It's heavy, but it has a clean break and nice reset for a plastic military-grade trigger.
Also, can anyone else confirm the BHO being hard to engage initially? I have to crank back on the charging handle/bolt to get it all the way to the rear to allow the BHO to engage, and when it does, it doesn't appear to be very sturdy. But then again I'm used to a AR15 BHO and this does appear different. |

To add to the above: and an extremely small amount of take up. I’d describe it as tiny take up, then wall, then harder press for break. I had both the earlier trigger, single stage, and the newer two stage which just has more take up, and I prefer the early one.
Yes, pull bolt to rear, at the rear pull a little harder to overcome the additional resistance, and engage bolt lock. |

Either remove the BCG first or lock it with the charging handle pushed into the receiver facing the barrel. You don't want to accidentally send the BCG flying forward with no barrel extension to take the impact. |

We can't even get a 300 AAC barrel for these - Which I would think for Beretta would be a very easy consideration for an accessory - It might have even boost enthusiasm for the platform.
The platform won't necessarily die as there is a military contract - but Beretta isn't going out of its way to build enthusiasm for it with accessories. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By twistedcomrade: Does it matter if the engraving is visible without taking the barrel out? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By twistedcomrade: Does it matter if the engraving is visible without taking the barrel out? By engraving, casting, stamping (impressing), or otherwise conspicuously placing or causing to be engraved, cast, stamped (impressed) or placed on the frame, receiver, or barrel thereof certain additional information. This information must be placed in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered, or removed. For firearms manufactured or imported on and after January 30, 2002, the engraving, casting, or stamping (impressing) of this information must be to a minimum depth of .003 inch. Of note also, there is no size requirement, just a depth requirement. Looking at it again, there might not be enough room, since the gas block is there, but unless Beretta has a good sale I'm not buying it anyway. |

Looking at it again, there might not be enough room, since the gas block is there, but unless Beretta has a good sale I'm not buying it anyway. I didn't engrave mine on the barrel because there isn't a ton of space on it. |
