I would buy 4 if you can get them from Faxon, in gunner profile. It costed me a few drill bits to drill through their nitride finish. It's decent stuff.
I want you to be pleased with your purchase, so do not hesitate one bit to ask questions before purchase! If we do decide to go forward with payment, I assume that you are satisfied with all info provided before payment. This is a polite as-is disclaimer.
I ship at least once a week on my day off.
Which is exactly the opposite of what is being asked for here.
Pieces welded to barrel to extend it - not OK.
Integral muzzle brake/flash hider machined as part of barrel - OK.
These barrels are blanks that have a flash hider/brake machined into them as part of the build process. You can't change your mind in 6 months and put a Surefire or Vortex on there instead, you're stuck with it. That makes it part of the barrel and not an added on piece.
The right to buy weapons is the right to be free.
Bureaucracy not an instrument of democratic government but, on the contrary, the worst enemy of freedom and democracy.
If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only applies to the poor.
Not if they're cut. Then you need to measure the barrel length. Cut an 18.5" NR to 18 1/4" and its restricted. Cut it to 17 3/4" and its prohib. Size matters. Measured from muzzle to breech. Who does the cutting matters not one lick.
If by THAT guy, you mean the guy who is right, that's me.
I have machined AR barrels from blanks. Machining a brake at the muzzle end would increase the complexity of the job and increase the time required if a gunsmith were to make up such a barrel. More $$$. The muzzle brake would have to be smaller in diameter that the journal for the gas block. Making a barrel with an integral brake would make sense if the shortest possible braked barrel were desired for a NR semi.
You're the one going on a tangent. Shotguns don't have specific exemptions from barrel length laws. It's manually operated firearms (pump, lever, bolt, break-action) and rimfire rifles (including semi) that are based on OAL. You won't find a semi-auto shotgun with a short barrel that stays NR.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
