Anyone know where to find a 10.5" pencil barrel with FSB already installed?

I would like to finish my retro builds.

Thanks,

Doublstar / JT Dist. lists them, but they're always OOS. I found a pencil barrel on GB and had John Thomas trim it down for a 177E1 build. Shoots great.

Brownells has 10.3 ones in stock but are F marked, so not completely correct. Wish I could find one that is 100% correct but looks like you might have to buy the parts separate and send it somewhere to put everything together.

Edit: looks like it's got a govt profile barrel

You might want to double check with Brownells about the 10.3”.

It’s my understanding that they now come with non-F marked front sight and no bayonet lug.

The 12.7 and 11.5 I got from them were non-F sights and no bayo lugs. (Though I do see the site now says non-f for those two barrels)

I used the Bushmaster Superlight .625 barrels and sent them to John Thomas to be chopped and FSB shaved. Your probably going to need to go a similar route if you want to get them finished in the next decade because chances of you finding exactly what you need in factory configuration will take forever.
