| I'm looking for a lightweight 14.7' mid length with A2 hider, thought CMMG made one but no joy. Anybody make such a thing? |
|
Quoted:
CMMG is the only company that makes the 14.7" and as you found out only in the Carbine gas system. maybe give them a call, they might have some stuff not advertised. could always buy a 16" and send it off for re-profiling and shortened to 14.7". advntrjnky Who does profiling besides Adco? |

AR15barrels.com used to do alot of threading/ contouring, but i don't know his status. Adco is the best that's affordable.
i used a nationally known company (not Adco) that is fairly local to me to chop a 20" barrel to 18" and thread it for a FH (no re-finishing or anything else)......$150. so much for keeping it local. on top of that they F'd up the crown and never cut a thread relief at the shoulder (crown has tool chatter and a ding). I've seen way better work out of highschool shop classes. lesson learned = go with the businesses that have a reputation for good work.....especially when it is fast and affordable. advntrjnky |

Why wouldn't you want to send it to ADCO ? |
