Who has Non-restricted Green Classic or Black Special in stock with 1:7 twist?

It sure ain't cheap, but an aftermarket NR barrel w/ gunsmithing costs will run you pretty much the same.
The major differences are that with doing it on your own you have the choice of going with a match grade barrel w/ integrated flash suppressor or brake of your liking, all this with an 18.5" barrel vs an 19 1/2" bbl barrel.
The carbine also starts off with a shorter piston system, so handguard is closer to you as well.
Kudos to Angryeyebrows for giving me a TON of information on the conversion; a real asset to the board he is.

Why would anyone have to do the conversion on a Swiss arms if they just wanted a non-res 1-7 twist? What angry eyebrows did was cool but I don't think it has anything to do with what the op asked? Or am I missing something?
I was referring to the link provided, from Epps' store. The NR they have are the Black Special Target, different than the "regular" Black Special, and priced differently ($3,800 Vs $3,400) than the CG or BS w/20.78" barrel.
The point I wanted to make is that for the exact same price as the Black Special Target, you can have a shorter, lighter SAN with a number of features you don't get with the stock rifle.

Both of the black special's they have listed are 3800 one is target (flat top) one is regular (diopter sights). I still don't understand what you are talking about. The retail price at epps for all San rifles is obviously around 3800.... So your saying it's the same cost to buy a carbine and make in nr rather then just buying an nr Swiss arms when they both carbines and rifles are the same price at retail!?
I obviously misread Epp's website as I was sure that both their NR were the Target models
Thanks for correcting that.As you can get a CG or BS at Wolverine's for $400 less, one would be stupid to pay Epp's price for it.
That said. If someone is willing to pay $3,800 for any them (CG, BS and Target), I am saying that it could run you close to the same $$ to convert a carbine to an NR status. Say $2,700 for a used Swiss carbine + $1,000 to convert you're right up there at the same price as an NR $3,800 price tag at Epps.
Should have mentioned I was referring too a USED carbine right off the bat; my bad on that one.
