SO....... where i work, i see an awful lot of custom AR's and Barrels for ar-15 rifles, and i see an awful lot of good barrels...... but to bring one home, is a rare treat!
my new sweet heart.... .223 18" 1-8" twist custom ported, 7 each side, 45' off center line, and countersunk custom off angle flutes NOTE.... look how the flutes are opposite angled, to make those sweet end cuts that face eachother...... GOD I LOVE THIS THING Actually i think we may end up producing these i like it so much....

ya, im doing really well.... got married in june, and now im tryin to get caught up with business..... seems like ill never get there....
I got a guy doing the milling and machining now, and he is AWESOME>>> the thing thats great is you give this guy an idea, and then tell him to "go nuts with it".... 2 hours later he plops this on the bench and i started dripping tears. may have even lost a little real estate in my pants. but i guess thats why im payin him the big bucks. |

You all take orders for custom barrels? I'm looking for a 24" SS bbl, and the fluting and integral comp would be perfect for it. .223 wylde 1/8 twist.

Nice, I bet that'll be a great race gun setup. How's the accuracy expected to be?
Non threaded barrels are hard to find these days, at least for AR's. Very frustrating. I don't wanna spring for a high end match barrel like krieger, but it seems like the options jump from el'cheapo to that level if you want a clean muzzle. |

Isn't it usually argued to have barrels threaded to put something on there to protect the crown? |

im not here to sell product, i avoid that here for the most part... this is a place for me to look around and dream....
my barrrel retails for 340..... but its a 750" diameter....and 18" long the longer ones(20/24") are 390, but they are target diameter and the 308 version is also .750" and is 375 in the 16/18" versions... but the shop specializes in custom work, so anything can be done.... guys are pretty reasonable. and btw, i have no use for a flash suppressor to protect the crown of the muzzle on a comp rig or a target gun.... id only do that if it was a beater gun... this match gun will be well cared for, so dropping it isnt going to be a frequent event.... additionally, we have a method of removing the lands in the muzzle of the barrel for the first .250" at the muzzle which completely protects them from the muzzle being hit on the ground. |

Though i will say from a completely "AR-owner" perspective.... that barrel is beautiful.

I don't think thats going to work very well for 3-gun, but I may be wrong.
