I'm looking to get an 16" middy HBAR turned down to a Gub'ment profile and re-parked. I like to support local folks, so does anyone know any reputable shops in the ATL metro that can do this for me? I'd prefer a shop with AR experience.
Regards, -L |

ADCO only charges $65 to turn down a barrel under the handguard if you don't want the entire barrel turned. Of course you have to add in the cost of shipping both ways though.
I've got a 16" HBAR I was going to send in to get get turned down. Either that or sell it. I guess once you get close to $100 of work, probably makes more sense to sell it. Not sure how much used barrels are going for though. Would need to look around the EE. |

Quoted: You are probably better off buying what you want and selling that Hbar .... that will probably be the more cost effective route to go. +1. Depending on twist rate, whether it has M4 cutouts, and condition, I might even be interested in it, I've been intending to build up a mid-length upper... |

Somewhere there's a prairie dog or bench rest shooter pining away for a 1/9 hbar at a decent price. I have a Bushmaster 1/9 hbar that weighs 3 lbs. It's amazing accurate and fun as hell for bench rest but I hate bench rest shooting. I keep it around with a 20x SS scope for guests who've never been shooting before, so they can say they've shot an AR and actually hit paper at 100 yards. |
