Built one up Sunday and test fired. Didn't do bad. The barrels have a bit of pitting right in front of the chamber. Now for the real question, should I build the other three up and sell them? The bottom line price would be about $675.00 with an RSA trigger group, US pistol grip and built on an OOW receiver. See below.

I have to replace the original barrel trunions and rear trunions. The originals were a bit undersized for the OOW receivers. Got real ugly when I tried to rivet the rear trunion on mine. Almost trashed the receiver.

Like I said, I ain't gonna try and BS anybody about the condition, but I will put them up against a Hexxe any day! I am keeping the one for myself, the worst condition one, of course. So, should I build the others up, or sit on them?

You got it, Campy. I compared the receiver stub to the OOW. You are right on the .040.

Okay, I managed to find one brand new barrel! Sold the one I already built to a friend. Sold one kit to another board member. So that leaves me with two. The used one is mine. The other will be built into one for sale. With the cost of the new barrel(I paid dearly), a new set of lumber and an RSA fcg, the price will be $1,000.00 plus shipping. Any takers befor I post in the EE forums?
