Where are all the in the white barrels going from these recent A1 parts kits? I've seen several people post that they aren't using their barrel that came with the kit because they want a Colt barrel.I know I saw a couple on the EE but one was priced a little high and I couldn't get to the other one quick enough. If someone knows please give me a "heads up".

Here's what happened to one.Heatnbeat drilled and mounted an original 601 cast FSB,then parked the barrel to match the original finish on the FSB..Flash makes the barrel look more of a light gray then it actually is,color match is near perfect!!

One of my barrels is on the way to heatnbeat (thanks M1) for pinning and parking.  The second one's disposition has not been determined.  That kit will likely get a mid-length and a set of the, yet to be released, middy handguards from the retro feeding gang at NDS.  I should also start working towards a 607 stock from my65pan for it.  Not ready to pull the trigger on the SBR yet.

I might go with this option and get the FSB from DEZ arms.
