That's pretty cool. Who did the dimpling?

Anyone get to shoot theirs yet? What size groups can one expect with this barrel?

Curious how these are shooting as well I'd expect probably expect 1.5moa or so. Also curious who dimpled the barrel. It's been Extremely difficult to contact Nefarious Arms I emailed about two weeks ago and got a partial reply within a few days 3-4 to my email and have emailed back and now have heard nothing for about a week.

They don't respond to emails or return calls. Their work is great if/when you get it, but I'd recommend against using them.

They did a barrel for me before and I agree their work is great I'm just not sure what's going on now. Someone said they've had a large increase in work since Ayan at Boltcarrier.com closed up shop but I just don't know. If you have another recommendation I'm open to hear it.

Adco dimples barrels I think.

The 20" stainless barrels don't come with index pin and do not have a gas port drilled, just a heads up to anyone thinking of buying.

Adco barrel dimpling is garbage. It's linear and looks pretty stupid. If you're going to get barrel dimpling done, then do the original, correct way through nefarious arms. Marvin is the only one who does the KAC pattern. He takes a while to email you back, but he will.

If you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly.

I have to agree. ADCO'S does not look as nice.

I just received my barrel today. Besides the barrel extension needing to be cleaned of the oily grit that was in it everything looks good. Also, just a FYI... I purchased the Colt A2 Gas Block/Front Sight Base-F Marked, part #C64786 for $9.99. It will not fit on this barrel being that it's sized for a 0.625 gas block journal. Still no complaints being that it was only $9.99.

Does your extension not have a 4 stamped in it @ the 3:00 position?

Also, I was close to ordering a couple of those fsbs myself, saw another thread here stating 0.625" journal sizing.

I just checked and there is a "4" on the extension. What does that indicate?

Posted: 10/5/2017 10:05:23 PM EDT

[#14]

Colt stamps that there to indicate M4 feed ramps. Couldn't make it out in your pic.

Surprised to see the lube/grit in yours?

Mine showed up spotless. Either way, great price on great barrels.

Unfortunately, now I have to build another upper.

For what you're getting for $150 there are no complaints coming from me. It took a whole 2 minutes to clean it up.

And.....

Just figure I'd ask here before buying one and only using it once probably. Does anyone have a Dimpling Jig they can loan me for one day and I'll mail it right back......And of course I'd pay for the shipping both ways. If not then no big deal

Nice, see it now.

Try posting in the Tool Loan thread, I'm sure someone has one.

I was wanting to get 1 barrel, but some A**** purchased the last 55. ALL SOLD OUT

Posted: 10/9/2017 9:29:02 PM EDT

[#19]

You had like 3 weeks from the start of the thread to buy one, frankly I am surprised they last that long.

God, it'd have been nice if somebody would have said where to get them?

Got the barrel back from adco today. The new Cerro Colt upper & CH came in as well. Just waiting on the gas tube, I've had a new Colt bcg for a while needing a home. I need to stay off of this site

Sarcasm is generally lost in typing.

I ordered one as soon as I saw the link.

I smelled what you were cooking. Lol. Sarcasm noted, though maybe lost on the intended recipient...who probably didn’t go back to the beginning of the thread.
