Dlask...don't bother.

Three years ago I asked Leigh to shorten and thread the barrel on my Rem 7600 to 18.6".

He said he could do it but not the re-installation of the front sight.

So I went with Rustywood insread who did a great job.

It speaks to the integrity of the business that they're OK with flushing their reputation down the toilet just to scavenge a few more bucks on the backs of their customers. I had a chance to supply him with some parts he needed a few years back and I passed. Glad I did now. I do my best to avoid dealing with scumbags.

They're either very good at their job or very bad. There is no in between. My experience was flawless however my buddy was given lots of hassle on his 22 barrel for warranty work (unfinished and chattering through rifling, visible gouges in the barrel, one groove stopped 4" before the muzzle) and eventually he was told by DLASK that its was damaged because he shot CCI stingers and not regular 22 ammo. After 7 months of back and forth, they gave up and warrantied the barrel for him.

Dlask never was a barrel “maker”, they purchased rifled blanks and modified em.
Sounds like s h i t t y qc. dumb for them to dump time and money into a blank that was junk to begin with

kinda too bad to hear this. Back in the day I had a DAR AR15 lower from them that I built into a 9mm with a colt 9mm kit and a bunch of LAR 10 round mags. I got surprisingly good at bump firing that gun from just a regular shoulder hold - like scary good, it just takes practise. Of course, accuracy was all over the place because your shoulder hold is tentative at best when doing that. One local range booted me out one day for firing "full auto" - stupid fudds. Later learned that the benchrest guys complained I was too distracting for them, and "not serious".

That particular Dlask product was fine - but was also 20 years ago.

There's a couple 14 and 12" rem870 barrels showing in stock on the dlask site if anyone wants to gamble.
There's a thread somewhere where we used to keep an eye on these coming into stock.

There's also a thread on here about those very barrels being out of spec. Save your money where Dlask is concerned guys. The stuff isn't what it once was, and the owner doesn't care. He just wants your hard earned cash. I have it on good authority that S&J will be making shorty barrels for us soon.

I should add that I own a 14" Dlask barrel for an 870, and it's great...but it's an older one. Pre-retirement notifications from Dlask.
