Negative - I guess I fell for the internet ninja sme on TOS that said they do not sell them separate from the complete barrel assembly. I'll give it s shot with LMT and follow up. Either way I just bought a 16" CL barrel sans extension for $45 ;)

share with the class!
I was under the impression that they do not sell the extensions..... but would love to be wrong.
IIRC, they used to, and a couple smiths used to do conversions with whatever barrel you wanted. I believe Marvin can take an old shot out barrel with extension and put a new blank on the old extension.
Does anyone have Gene's direct number?
I want to inquire about the longer SLK MRP Upper that fits over a suppressor (was used in SF's promotional videos for their Genesis.
That would make a sweet 300blk upper that could also double as am SPR upper. I have a 18" SS MRP barrel, but need a longer rail. My CQB uppers look a tad silly with that long of barrel.

"I also spoke to him about the new LW Barrels & whom & why they were developed. Interesting data points there."

I'd be really interested to hear this if you wouldn't mind.
Marvin Pitt's Master Jedi was doing MRPish conversions. Don't might wanna get ahold of him ref MWS extensions....
Curious to hear about the LW Data as well.... Do tell.
Sure no prob Gents.
firstly, I always talk w/ Gene or Karl (when I'm lucky enough to catch him). I know I can talk to them w/o agenda or typical mission creep.
I asked Gene what the "inside baseball" was on the LW barrels. He said they had a request order for LW barrels from a SF Unit in Canada. They wanted lighter weight barrels for extended field ops etc.
He said these were the leftovers they had after fullfillment of that contract. He also said they had Aluminum barrel extensions & obviously a different contour & profile. He said & claimed great accuracy & AAR from them. He said about 2/3 lb. was realized.
I really like the KAC URX 3.1 Mod 1 look & want to have DD do the mod. But my experience w/ creakote's end user durability cosmetically has been less than stellar. I was ruminating on getting a 16" SS LMT LW barrel & doing the shaved rail mod which would cut the weight to approx. 20 oz. (approx 8 oz. rail shave + 12 ozs. LW barrel= 20 oz.) That would yield a weapon weight of approx. 142 oz= 8.875 lbs. vs. 10.2 lbs. weight as metric (NOT using common core idiot speak).
I'm going to do more diligence before I decide.
Reading through one of the forums, someone had posted that Gap would build a barrel if you supplied a donor barrel. I filled out their contact forum and their reply was at this time the only AR they working on is their own Gap 10. I would really like a 24" or 26" barreled in 6.5CM round. Or maybe a 6XC, I have a bolt gun chamber for it what a great round.
A couple smiths can do that.
I would contact Marvin Pitts. The wait at GAP is close to 12 months IIRC.
I plan on doing that with my 6.5CM barrel once it's shot out. A 24" would be perfect, 20" is borderline too short. I've taken mine out to 1,100 yards.... but after 900 yards it's really loosing steam.
Thanks Domestique. Have you tried RL 17, I use it in my bolt gun and It faster the other powders I have tried.
