Quote HistoryQuoted: Just got my shipping notice from DTT. Ordered on 6/1 so 8 days, not bad I guess. When it delivers I will report back. Gas port measurement will be first thing to check. Same here. |

That packaging at least beats the hell out of CDNN’s packaging, huh?haha I’m trying really hard not to get one more. Only 56 more out of around 200 2 weeks ago. Though I’m sure we’ll see some nice folks on here posting them for $250+ in the EE just as soon as the last barrel sells lol Should have my Diemaco furniture set in a couple of weeks. One of the Rem socoms got the C8A3 make over, so I figured it’d be fitting to do the same with one of the Mennies :)

I would love to get a set like that; I had to settle for Colt Defense instead for my C-8. Oh well; sending the furniture to get Cerekote Noveske Bazooka Green plus will buy an Eotech 552 or move around one that is already on an existing rifle. The packaging is very nice compared to CDNN. CDNN did a piss poor job of shipping while DTT did a very job. I might buy another one and keep it in reserve after I build out a upper for one of my best friends that beat cancer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Has anyone measured the port yet? I measured everything up. Everything matches the specs from what I can see. A .062 pin fits easily in the gas port, a .063 pin doesn't. Barrel nut is not phosphate coated. Looks blued. Complete barrels with barrel nut weigh between 1033.4g and 1034.2g (2 lb 4.45oz and 2 lb 4.48 oz). Stripped barrels weigh between 854.0g and 855.4g (1 lb 14.12 oz and 1 lb 14.17 oz). Taper pins were easy to remove. Phosphate coated under the FSB. Hopefully test fire tonight. I don't know if these were rejects or surplus or what. They seem like good barrels made to USGI specs so far. |

I wanted a Colt barrel but this seems pretty close and considering the price I had to try. This is going on a Block II clone. Depending on the performance we'll see how/where it fits in my collection. |

Assembled a M4A1 MWS/Block I URG today and test fired. Everything functioned as expected. Don't expect a MOLON accuracy report from me. This URG will at most have a 4X ACOG on it.
The only possible negative I have found is that you can install the taper pins beyond centered without much effort. I'm just going to leave them "loose" and monitor. |

They are using this same barrel for $289-300 upper kits as well. Search " barrel chrome lined" and you'll see them.

Quoted: They are using this same barrel for $289-300 upper kits as well. Search " barrel chrome lined" and you'll see them. Yeah I just saw that; but you have to pay another $19.99 USD for the upper to be built. I bought the second barrel with a fully assembled Digital Tool upper with charging handle for $94 USD, the exact same price as one of their assembled uppers/parts kit. I would honestly rather have it dissembled because I would want to build it in whatever configuration I want. Bought two AO Precision BCG’s from Right To Bear Arms (EE Sponser) for $89.99 USD (C158 bolt MP/HPT) and now want to figure out how to build out my upper. For my best friend I will build his out using a BCM MCMR rai. |

I thought about going that route too, but you can build one with a BCM blem for a little cheaper. I gave in and grabbed one last one before they’re gone. May just put this one up as a spare. |

Yep, OOS! You can’t add one of the upper assemblies that they had listed as having one of the barrels either now. Good to know 200 more potential AR’s are out in the wild:) would love to see some of your all’s builds! The Diemaco furniture set should be here Wednesday. I’ll get some pics up once I get it put together. Need to find another tri rail.

My barrel arrived 3 days after the shipping notice. Nicely packaged and in the special blue bag. Lots of details on the label. Bore looks great, chrome is applied perfectly, great looking feed ramps. 05/2017 mfg date. Gas port is a loose .0615 drill bit, I can't get to my big index right now. Taper pins were easy to drive out, no heat needed. Overall a pretty killer deal for the money. Can't wait to see how it shoots. I'll be putting the upper together this week. Just need a rear BUIS and I can get it out to the range.

I don’t think it’s necessary at all though. Knock them in as far as they’ll go. I HIGHY doubt anyone is going to have their pins fall out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Man, that looks great! Where did you order the furniture? Thanks man! I got it off a Canadian member on here who had bought it and a bunch of other parts for a couple of builds he had planned, but is unfortunately having to sell all of his stuff due to the ban. Really nice guy. I had bought a bunch of other Colt Canada parts off of him for another C8 build I did about a month ago before buying this set. Just stuck a 552 on it, a cut off carry handle, and a temp sling. I’ll post an updated pick once I can get it uploaded. Took one of it together with the other C8 clone I did with one of the Rem Socom barrels. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Correction; ordered mine on June 11th. Man, DDT lags in shipping That’s crazy. Not to be the devils advocate here, but I’ve had terrible shipping experiences with some of the most reputable companies during this panic. Add the fact that they sold more barrels in 2-3 weeks than they probably sale in 6+ months. I’m surprised shipping hasn’t been slower for most. It is strange though that you placed your order 3 days before mine and haven’t gotten a shipping notice while I have. |
