Spike's sometimes has LW 5"ers in stock.
The only other one I know of is TROS. |

Green Mountain has 10.5" barrels for only $80 in their "specials" section if you know someone that will cut and thread cheap. Existing threads are 1/2x36.

TROS
had to wait about 8 weeks for mine. Well worth it for $188 shipped. The 3 lug will have you thinking about getting a suppressor which could be very bad on the pocket book

Yep. That's the one I run.....only in the 8" variety. I'm changing things up a little, so I could part with my 8" barrel threaded 1/2 x28 if you would be interested. 500 rounds through it. |

ADCO sells some 9mm barrels. I got one of their 5" and have been very happy with it. They also cut my RRA 16" down to 10.5" (Just in front of the bayo lug) and I love it.
Edit: They currently sell in 4.5, 5, 6 and 7 inch barrels with selection of 1/2x28 or 1/2x36 (really nice!). |

TROS.....Was shooting my 8 incher @ 300 yards off bipod and rear bag on Sunday.
150 yard groups run 1.5-2 inches. You can make headshots consistently at 200 if there is no wind. 1:10 twist and loves147 Ranger SXT and newer generations of same. I have an AAC SDN-6 and was gonna build a couple of 300 BLK SBR's,but why bother... I'm gonna build another (5 inch) 9mm SBR instead. This 8 incher must be the funnest and most consistently accurate little gun that I own. It shoots like a damn bolt rifle. Gonna get my dope for 350 and possibly 400 yards this weekend. 11.8 mils to 300 from a 50 yard zero! Go TROS. |

I looked at JSE as well but they only have them in 1/2x36. By the time I get adapters for my 1/2x28 9mm can I'd be better off and have less down time than if I went with TROS Adco from the get go. Once I have my stamp back, TROS Adco will get my business. ETA: Meant Adco but kept typing TROS instead |

Took the TROS to 350 and 400 on Friday. Ranger RA9T 147 gr Subsonic, 8" TROS, 1-4x SWFA SS, Atlas bipod/rear bag, shooting prone on the gravel.
16 Mils to 350 yds with a tennis ball sized 3 shot group. At 400 need 19.5 Mils, ie 23.4 FEET of elevation! Shot a pair at 400 ~4" ctc center chest. Hope to have my 51/2 incher running in the next week or two. I ordered a bunch of RA9T after the above. BR |
