    I will be putting the RFQs in Monday.

    I will have pricing once they come back.

    We can make supply almost any barrel if there is demand, even blanks

    The are button rifled.

    Things I'm looking for in finished bargain AR barrels in order of priority:

    1) Price. Cheaper the better.
    2) No frills - I can do what I want with it once I have it. Nitriding is fine as the price difference is negligible.
    3) "Common" or "versatile" twist rate. Main reason why I haven't gone for the 1:12 barrels you currently have in stock... just doesn't work with most loadings.
    4) Other cals. From a production standpoint 300blk seems like a good second option as it just requires a different blank and reamer to begin with. I don't know how popular it is, and I accept an 18.5 inch barrel isn't ideal for the caliber, but I would like it. I would really like 7.62x39 but then you start getting into longer barrel extensions and proprietary bolt heads to avoid shearing bolt lugs.... If you can make it work there's a lot of surplus that people want to shoot out there :P

    I would love to get my mitts on some "blanks" - basically finished barrels reamed, fitted and headspaced to their extensions, but with no profile or gas port. It would save me having to do it myself. I'd ideally want a blank a bit longer than 18.5 so I can futz around and not be starting right at 18.5 inches with no wiggle room to crown or change anything at the muzzle.

    I was aware of that rifle...didn’t think there would be such a desire for barrels though

    There just arent alot of 18.5 (or .6) inch AR barrels out there so anyone buying one of these reciever sets to build an NR AR-15... theyre going to need a barrel.

    - rifle length gas system
    - nitride, qpq, or similar finish
    - 1/2-28 threaded

    Headspaced blanks or even just basic options in 300blk please.
