Non-Restricted ACR's

They're chambered in .223 Wylde?

"The .223 Wylde chamber was designed as a match chambering for semi-automatic rifles. It will accomodate both .223 Rem and 5.56mm NATO ammunition. It is relieved in the case body to aid in extraction and features a shorter throat for improved accuracy."

Haha, thanks!

The biggest limiting factor for these aftermarket items is Bushmaster's refusal (so far) to make their piston system and locking components available to aftermarket barrel producers... thus forcing producers to sell only the stripped barrel and customers to use their factory parts for any barrel switch.

Mark, does switching the factory parts to the new barrel require a gunsmith or is it relatively straightforward?

Oh man, nice. I need to hunt down some dollars

For someone with tools and experience putting AR gas blocks onto barrels it's probably something a person could do themselves... but like anything it has to be done right, so unless you're very handy and have experience in that kind of thing then a Gunsmith is probably a good idea.

Is it possible to get the barrel coated with something so it doesnt look shiny and out of place on the rifle?

CeraKote @ Alberta Tactical Rifle or Arma-Coat @ Arma-Coat Finishes.

Not to fond of the SS barrell. It throws the black look of the rifle out. Still thanks to Questar we have ACR NR'S. Good job.

Can some one with some photoshop kung fu slap up a pic with a back barrel and a FH on that? If you guys come out with that in .308 ..... well a man can dream right?
