    You say that like its a bad thing...

    Not having seen these rifles in their current iteration, how readily can the barrel be switched on these platforms with the proper tools?

    If one can readily do this, could the barrels not be bought in batches via special - custom - orders?

    Cheers!

    Haha! That was the philosophy of my obnoxious loudener on the m305 and the t97 we shot that day!

    And thanks again for letting me shoot that LA 12 Puma!

    And I think they were for the Coast Guard for drug boat interdiction while they were in helicopters... Not nearly as cool... But still...

    And he currently has that rifle for sale!!!

    If it had a 29" barrel, it'd be one I would've looked at... Not a fan of shorter barrels on the 50BMG as you need 29" to burn all the powder...

    Cheers

    18.5 - 22......any of them. 22 would be most practical. 18.5 would be most fun. I'd prolly go for the 20 and split the diff.
