Colt 609 build questions and ideas

[can14]

There were some real colt moderators sold here in Canada, they weren't restricted at all at the time. They are not silencers.

Probably go to ATRS or Dlask for the barrel.

I recently contacted Dlask about having a pencil profile barrel made and he responded with a simple no. When I asked why, he claimed that he wasn't equipped to handle such a skinny profile? Aren't his barrels government profile under the handguards? What special equipment is required to turn it down to .570"?

Annoying because he's one of the few that does custom AR work.

ATRS only seems to work on super high end stainless blanks and charge $500 +- for a barrel.

VERY nice! I should have known you'd have one! How long did it take you to find that barrel and front sight assembly?

It's a real XM177 barrel. It's the only one in Canada. There was only 2500 of them ever made.

Trust you to have it!

I suspect it's not the barrel contour that's the issue, it's the .625" gas block.

Do you know if there is anything on paper regarding this? I know that the BATF classes them as suppresors in the US in spite of the fact that they don't seem to do much as far as noise is concerned.

I could kind of understand if that was the issue, although .625" gas blocks and FSB are readily available. He specifically said he couldn't replicate an SP1 carbine profile, said the skinny profile required special equipment.

Do you know of any .625 FSB for sale in Canada? I know I saw some a few months ago somewhere, and haven't been able to locate any recently.

Not specifically, but Bushmaster and Daniel Defense use them. I'd assume you could order one through one of their dealers.

Numrich also lists one.

J&T sells them, ATRS has had some J&T barrels in the past.

When I was looking for 1 a few years ago the answer wad that no,there were none available in Canada unless you bought a barrel and pulled the sight block yourself.
