    Our 20" was brought in for those that requested the pencil barrel a1/a2 style.

    This is our forum, so post containing details of other dealers will be deleted/edited

    Dominion Arms quality has been very good. That other is noted for having a cheap painted finish. There's a plug.
    Listen, and understand. That Liberal is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse- only fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until your guns are gone.

    Imagine a 150 lbs soaking wet Taiwanese man shooting a pistol only 3" slug gun. I think these guys don't get to practice with their guns much, if at all.

    Virtually every business has a security guard with either a pistol, pgo slug gun, or AR/M16. Yet in the entire city of Cebu there is only one gun range and during my two visits there I was the only customer. So my guess is that those security guards and cops with guns are just for show.

    If these are the guys armed by Norinco, that really doesn't say much.

    Mind you, I love my Norinco Grizzly mag with 12" barrel. Looks mean as hell. And it was only 300$. But it does jam a great deal. You get what you pay for..That is my zombie gun, the gun I pull our to show off to dinner guests. But when the zombies actually do come out, I'll be switching to the Mossy 590 in a hearth beat.

    Then don't ask and move on. Make you choice and be done with it.

    Excuse my ignorance. But what's a pencil barrel?
    Aren't they all shaped like pencils?

    If you want to mount a scope, there are mounts for fixed carry handles.



    If you look at the third photo on CanAm's site, you'll notice the DA556 has a hole in the carry handle to allow scope mounting hardware.

    Wouldn't the scope be rather high?
    Maybe I'd have to get a comb riser on the stock!

    It's not much higher than the iron sights.
