I got lucky with my setups.  3 different barrels, different manufacturers, all get 7 turns.

Paint strips off if you get enough remorse though. Paint is apart of the clone life mane.

If it didn't take me so long to track it down and I didn't drop so much on it just for the laser engraving I wouldn't care. Now I'm not gonna get stage 10 and clone my clone just to paint one.....hahaha. I'm sure one day their obliterating compound will come out and I will have....that just won't be now

Just tape off the Vero Markings. I did that with my AAC MPW so the upper still had the AAC Blackout markings in white. Looks fine.

PIC JUST FOR REFERENCE. NOT A NSW CLONE.
BEWARE!

Ultralights if you aren't planning on painting, either if you are. They both look the same, only difference is materials.

Okay thanks. If I plan on chopping the barrel, will any spr profile technically work to send to Adco such as the BA 16” stainless spr profile or does it need to be cut for an ops already?

If you send to ADCO, they will reprofile the barrel and give you a custom collar if the barrel OD won't supprt the chop and new collar shoulder. Also be very specific when you send it to them if you want a long or short custom collar or you'll get a short. Also if you have a need for more then 1 collar for that barrel for whatever reason then I'd recommend spending the $60 for the 2nd or you'll have to ship your barrel back for another collar.

How do I determine which collar I need?

If you don't require a custom collar, always long. As far as the chop goes, if it's setup for ops already prior to the chop, adco will reprofile the end of the barrel to move the step back so you get the proper spacing. If it is not profiled prior, you will need a barrel that has a diameter of 0.750" from the gas block journal to the thread shoulder in order to have it profiled correctly to accept a standard long collar. If you use a barrel with a smaller diameter, you can still have it profiled and have the step added, however, you'll have to contact Ron Allen at Allen Engineering to have a custom long collar made with a smaller inner diameter.

ETA-

ADCO did my custom collar for my H. It has a smaller inner diameter. You just have to specify you want a long collar. Just another option.

My upper should ship back from CLE Monday!

Side note: finally put rounds through the Docter/insight mount. Height is not an issue. That dot up top is seriously awesome. Ran some quick drills at 10 yards and it’s super fast.

If anybody is looking to purchase a Nightforce 2.5-10x24, if you buy from Midway you can get a $250.00 gift card. Get you some rings of something to go along with it.

Well I was excited for a minute! But ouch the pricing! At that you can buy the scope else where and not have to spend the $250 at midway. Just my 2 cents.

I agree, but I think all other places who have the mil-r reticle instock, have it listed for the same price. So at least you get the gift card. I think you can get if for $1780 at Opticsplanet if you ask for there best offer.

My Lilja barrel is not profiled for the collar and Ops Inc. can.

I was told that the barrel was intended by NWSC  Crane to be run with the KAC flash hider and integrated suppressor mount for the KAC QDSS-NT4.

Is that a clone correct option?

Here's my Lilja barrel with the KAC suppressor mount.  KAC rail is in transit.

Would this flash hider/suppressor mount be a clone correct alternative?

Threw a CTR on just to see what it felt like.... surprisingly it's not all that bad. Gonna keep it in the case and swap back and forth with the sopmod next range trip and see how it shoots with it.
