It’s true... wouldn’t kill them to have an updated ETA, or set benchmark dates for an update in advance. Maybe I’ll call and ask for an update.
Turns out Joe ordered carbon steel, not stainless. We will be having them all blued, not Nitride. (Except mine of course...lol)

I'll just throw this out there since dlask won't comment.
Has anyone who ordered a barrel in the first pre order been contacted by dlask?
I'll start.
No.
I am on the first batch and still havent heard anything yet but no stress... Leigh will let us know when they are done
Did you guys get a chance to test out that fixed stock that you ordered to see if it will fit and if it’s something you will bring in and instal on the completed rifles for those who want the fixed stock?
Morning danzMtl,
Thank you Sir for being mature and confident and for respecting the "don't call us, we'll call you" request for updates, we GREATLY appreciate it.
And here is the update for Monday, March 2. We are still waiting for the thread adapters from the CNC turning shop, they are delayed, nothing we can do about it. Barrels themselves though are here back from bluing and are being installed into the complete rifles we have.
And to those of you that comment on me not posting updates as quickly as YOU'D like....Frankie says ....RELAX. I understand that this is an exciting project for you all but it is not the be-all, end-all for us. We in fact spent the ENTIRE week last week dealing with the cancellation of the IWA Outdoor Show and did not even give these barrels a thought. (Since the adapters weren't ready so we couldn't work on them anyways). It's called energy prioritization.
As I have posted numerous times here already....we are working on this project and when the parts are all ready for sale we will contact people in batches in the same order of whom ordered first. If this upsets you then call me and cancel your order so it doesn't cause you unneeded stress and a trip to your safe space.
Wow, I have to say this response, is pretty condescending.
We are your customers and this is how you reply.
I think this will be the last thing I purchase from you.
Whatever you say to justify being rude to your customers.
No problem, I won't be a customer any more.
Sweet! Please rate the difficulty to install at home after you guys have done a few. I was going to send you mine for install but if you guys think the average ar builder can tackle it I’ll attempt it at home. Thanks again for doing these!
Not *super* difficult but certainly not a novice job. The two things we have noticed when testing / tuning is to polish the chamber really well and cut the extractor notch properly. Other than that I am not giving advice or instruction on the install in case it goes sideways and you want to hold us liable. Sorry.
I will post a quick picture on how we will be 'pinning' the stocks open. It requires a 7/32nds drill bit and a 3/8" #6 wood screw. Super easy and very discreet.
#1 - Remove the stock from your rifle and set it to the length to make the overall length no less than 660mm when re-installed on the rifle.
#2 - Using the 7/32" drill bit drill through the plastic ring in the location in the picture. It is only about 1/8" thick so don't go too deep. There is a steel washed under the plastic, do not drill through it.
#3 - Screw in your 3/8" #6 wood screw. The tip will touch the steel washer underneath so be careful to *not quite* screw it in all the way or you may strip the plastic and bugger it up.
#4 - Re-install the stock on your rifle and go shoot. Lots. Shoot a whole lot. Piss off a Liberal.
