Did they ever get the barrel extension issue sorted out? |

Quoted: Their barrels had a nasty issue with barrel extensions coming loose for no reason at all. Also, it hasn't been addressed as far as I've heard, OP. Quoted: Quoted: What issue?

Guess I will pass. |

| If it was on their nitrided / melonited barrels, that wouldn't surprise me. After taking a swim in the salt bath, the barrel extensions should be retorqued and even have some of that penetration loctite used for good measure. They probably got them back from nitriding and just installed them... |

They were improperly built and would often fail very quickly during normal shooting. The entire barrel and installed extension were nitrided as a unit causing them to fall apart.
