    Is it safe to assume that the stainless barrels are on their way?

    Is barrel changeover a true gunsmith job? or can it be done by the home enthusiast with ARish tools (barrel vise, punches etc.) to swap the gas system etc. ? This obviously would then need a certified examiner to effect the NR change.

    Can we request a pencil/featherweight profile for future orders? ACRs are just too damn front heavy!

    We received 3 SS barrels in this shipment and received less than 10 CMV barrels. As we already advertised the SS barrels, the 3 are spoken for on weborders. We never offered these first nor last, so some are available.

    I would reckon a talented machinist or gunsmith could do the swap. It involves reaming the taper pin holes to attach the gas block. The barrel itself is ready to install.

    Can we request a pencil/featherweight profile for future orders? ACRs are just too damn front heavy!
    I don't find my ACR front heavy. Have you actually held a rifle with this barrel installed? We won't be making more ACR barrels beyond what have already made, certainly a gunsmith could profile the barrel to whatever you'd like.

    +1.....no milling required hopefully?
    These are TRUE ACR barrels, not modded AR barrels. Taper pin channels must be reamed to install gas block, this requires machinist or gunsmithing knowledge. No further machining or turning of the barrels is required beyond that.

    Does that mean the full chrome lined guns are in as well?
    No, these came by air, the rifles are on route by ground. These have been in NL since just after close on the 23rd, just open now.


    Well done!
    Thank-you!!!
