I noticed that your forthcoming 10.5" barrel has made it on to GunStruction.  Any chance we can expect to see it for sale anytime soon?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,




We should have it within a month.  We are currently fine tuning the barrel profiles.  It is more difficult for us to add a new barrel profile due to the complex 3D logo engraving (circular logo wrapped around a cylinder) programming that had to be changed each time when we change a profile and diameter.  It is not a simple contouring and basic text engraving.

Will there be a 11.5" barrel or just 10.5"?

10.5" for now.  We can do other lengths by request.  Simply too many variations to make them all at once.

Any plans for a 7.5-8" barrel?

I am curious why you decided to go with a pistol length gas system instead of the standard carbine length found on other 10.3/10.5" barrels?

it doesn't look like pistol length gas system to me.
Criminals are never materially handicapped by such rules; the only effect is to disarm the peaceful citizen and put him fully at the mercy of the lawless. Such rules look very pretty on paper;~ R.A.H.

I know what the description says. and I say again:
