They just have 12" barrels right now
I asked about 9" on their industry page. They said they plan on making them but no timeline on when it might happen |

yeah, thought I'd share the sale price though, not sure how long that will last
they still fit a standard M4 though right? I thought that's what I used overseas, but I never bothered to measure it. Pretty sure it was the same ones we had on M16A4s at KCR in October they told me they are working on 37mm barrels too. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Takes about two minutes to chuck up, dial in, and properly shorten a M203 barrel on the lathe. If you can't find someone locally to do it on the cheap, I'll do it for you for free if you'd like. 
I just wanted pass along what they said about the 9" barrels. 12" will work just fine, who wouldn't want an extra 3" Also, if you put it in your cart and leave it for a couple days they will send you an email offering free shipping. Must be logged in |

Fair enough! I wanted to offer, just in case. Not too many people into DDs, so I think we ought to all help one another.

I ordered one for my A2, that way I won't need to cut it down. Now if they would only get the lowers back in stock so I could order one and form 1 it.

Yes, a lathe will work nice for doing a shorter barrel. I've done several that way. GROG

they told me and a few others that they were hoping to have them back in stock at the end of 2018. But they also told me they might not do it if they couldnt make 37mm barrels for them. but that would be very easy for them if they already make 40mm barrels.
I was told (by DSA) that they actually own the forging dies for the receivers and were tooling up to make the internals rather than outsourcing those parts as they have in the past. And that they may actually come out to be even cheaper due to being made totally in-house. so everyone is still basically waiting. you can sign up for email notifications on their website |

we really need a dealer to buy a whole boatload of chalk and all the ALS and deftec offerings and then put them on the open market. Heck, they even have training kits with re-useable plastic projectiles, that would be perfect for people starting out in the 40mm game. Also sell a bunch of the foam baton rounds as they are pretty fun.
There are also foam/sponge rounds that have marking chalk and are a blast to shoot at inanimate objects. Hurricane butterfly has some with B+Ts new launcher, but they aren't interested in private sales of them yet. Maybe if I bug them enough they will be. I also wouldn't mind a demilled B+T launcher... |

I had sent them a message asking about complete receivers just before New Years, and they replied yesterday that it'd maybe be a few months.
A few months ago, they had told me end of 2018 maybe. |

I have a rail mount LMT m203 with a 9" bbl. Are these 12" bbls compatible? Any legal issues with having multiple bbls? Don't think so, but sometimes atf is dumb...

If your going to shorten a 40mm barrel, please make sure you chamfer the inside edge of the barrel after you cut it. The rotating band of the grenade will have rifling pressed into it and it will fly out wonky if the rifling embedded on the rotating band engages on the sharp inside cut of the barrel... Say NO to Wonky Grenades.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Either way, I'm still glad to hear it. You don't need an FFL to store your barrel. The only requirement is that it not be stored in the same place as your launcher until you get your approval back. So, drop it at your friend's, or parents, or anyplace not where the launcher is.

You can mount and use the 37mm barrel as long as you do not have AP ammo... Only gas, flares, or smokes. The 40mm barrel makes the DD... Drop the 40 barrel at your Dad's, and pick up your receiver, mount your 37mm. When the paper comes, pick up your 40 barrel. GROG
