I ordered a 16" mid-lenth rifle kit from Del-ton. I recieved a call today,6.13, saying the barrel was not in stock but the Chrome barrel was available. The lady said it would be 6-8 weeks before the the barrel I wanted will come in. I'm going to wait. I ain't in that much of a hurry.  I just thought someone might find that to be good information..

You shoulda whined for a discount on the chrome barrel!

Chrome lined might be a good upgrade.  I was having a lot of fun with my Delton Middy shooting with my cousin, and didn't realize how hot the rifle was getting until I branded my arm with the top of the front sight.  Thought to myself--Hmm, I wonder if I should have gone chrome.....

Still shoots just as good though, no harm done that I can tell.  Us former bolt gun guys cringe when we get a warm barrel, but an AR can take the abuse just fine.

i've abused my Del-ton... and have had no problems! =) (5k w/o failure aside from a cracked case lip which failed to eject...)


You'll be happy when it arrives--- or toss out the extra $50.00 for the CL barrel and get it sooner =)
