Me too. The problem with that is now you are making them in a 'bull barrel' profile and this kills the entire beautiful essence of this platform ; a superbly light and balanced combat rifle. The medium profile barrels we make are on the brink of making it so front heavy it's modestly unbalanced. A bull barrel would just be gross in my opinion.
I have always been of the mind that a semi-auto should be light and quick and accurate enough to be close to MOA if you feed it well and have done your job as the shooter. A bolt action is for a heavier and more precision minded sub-MOA platform because that's literally what a modern bolt gun is designed for.
A Toyota Yaris is not for driving from Vancouver to St. John's and a BMW M6 isn't for your daily milk run if you get my drift. Can each car do the other's job ? Sure, but it won't be optimal by a long shot. (no pun intended)
Also, if you have shot the 476mm barrels we made they are pretty darned accurate considering what the rifle was originally designed for with it's 11 inch factory barrel.....
