I'm wanting a 14.5", mid gas (.750 gas block journal) barrel, with FSB, that comes with a Manimal flash hider pinned. (Manimal looks like an A2 but has an OD just smaller than .750 so you can strip the barrel and slide everything over the pinned flash hider). And I want to just order it - I hate buying parts and then turning around and shipping them off elsewhere to be pinned. I have no patience. Also, I like being able to strip the barrel as handguard preferences change - I can do a 2-piece with USGI nut and Delta ring, or strip it and install a free float that uses a proprietary barrel nut, etc etc - Options are good.
BCM, Spikes, Faxon, Ballistic Advantage all offer some options for pinning muzzle devices, but none seem to offer the Manimal as an option. Which is surprising to me, seems like a no-brainer. I know Faxon offers some low profile pinned FH options, but none of them are blowing my skirt up. I can get pretty close to what I'm after, but either it doesn't have a pinned FSB, or has a pinned flash hider that won't allow FSB removal (to allow different barrel nuts).
So, short of buying the pile of parts I want and shipping them to ADCO, is anybody aware of barrel makers that offer this configuration/option (or would assemble custom for a nominal fee)?
Anybody have better/similar options I haven't stumbled across yet?
Alternatively, why is this FH not SOP for barrel makers that offer device pinning? Seems like it should be the most popular/standard option.
