Seriously ? I admint I feel like a dumba$$ for being led to believe there was anti rotation tabs. And since im a grown man ill stand here admit I was wrong and apologise to SFRC for being douche.But I im pretty sure we are all happy about the rest.
So unless you are planning to build a kick a$$ AR10 go start a thread about keeping the 102 stock and booring and leave the big boys alone
Touched a nerve there apparently. Already did build a kickass one fyi. Still a couple parts coming for it but atm the only original items are upper lower and handguard (And some of the LPK I guess..) But go ahead, attack me cause you felt called out as a whiner for your whining.

Tactical loctite? Does it come in a black bottle?
More parts came in, and dremel on standby for any fitment issues...lol...
LMFAO, now all you have to pray for is that your receivers are made well so you can use those parts.
Love the mama says I'm special and the unicorn patches.
Lol, I just asked the same question in the other thread

You’d need a carbide reamer and the barrel would still be a pig. It would likely be cheaper/easier to buy a new barrel. Criterion makes a Government profile 18.5”. If only Faxon made their Gunner a half inch longer. Could cut down a 20” but the shoulder may be too small for a muzzle device.
I'd go with a 20 inch, it's not like you buy a 308 for doing CQB or 3-gun so the inch and a half extra will hardly be noticed and they seem to perform better in the accuracy department.
I'm not sure how they would look at that legally. It's illegal to shorten the barrel of a restricted rifle of any length and those are designed and advertised as AR barrels but since you are installing it on a non restricted and it would still fall into the NR category at 18.5 it's a real grey area, could go either way I'd guess.
You're right though, by the time you pay a smith to ream the chamber you probably could have almost paid for a different barrel, especially if you add the cost of the reamer and if you're paying him to remove and install it as well it's going to raise the price even more.
The factory barrels are junk anyway, if you like accuracy you'd be way better off to just buy a different barrel.
Junk may be a little harsh, they're probably fine if you're ok with 3-4 moa as an average group size with the odd fluke 2 moa group or slightly better if you handload. If all you want to do is ring steel and have fun then there's nothing wrong with them as long as you find a type of ammo that the "match" chamber eats reliably.
Putting the word match in the same sentence with BCL/NEA seems a little off to me though, other than as a marketing ploy to dupe the masses I can't for the life of me figure out why they would cut these with a tight chamber. It really makes no sense at all.
