Main reason I wanted to get rid of it is I already have another A2 rifle, with a 20" barrel. Turning this rifle into a competition rifle, and am getting ready to do a light weight shorty build with a 14.7 barrel and a pinned or welded flash suppressor. So this barrel would have just sat in the safe collecting dust. May as well let someone else get some use out of it.
I already sold it BTW.
