Eta on delivery for 11.5 suppressor bbls?

[Clint]

Barrels are getting chambered this week, so probably 4 weeks.

Now I need to wait until November...Great. Just getting a standard 11.5 because I like max reliability. Just got my SOLGW Flash Hider for my Dead Air in the mail.

The A5H2 with standard rifle spring is the baseline that all our barrels are setup for.

Everyone is certainly free to play around with combinations other than the A5H2/rifle, but in general there's no need and no real gains to be had with an OPTIMUM barrel.

I took the gun out yesterday for some more shooting. We shot some mild-ish 55gr. reloads, 55 gr Frontier and 62 gr Fiocci rounds, around 200 rounds total. It ran like a top with all the ammo and is just a pleasure to shoot (A5 H2 standard rifle spring).

As I was packing up, I found a steel cased round in my shooting bag and fired it. The bolt didn't lock back on the empty mag, which took me aback momentarily then I remembered that Clint has clearly stated the that the underpowered steel ammo was not what the barrels are designed for.

For me, the 16" light barrel is a winner.

Clint, what kind of accuracy can we expect from the 14” with match ammo?

We should have some info first thing next week, as we'll be wringing out a test barrel for velocity, accuracy and port size.

VA Arms was going to assemble my upper for me now just waiting on the barrel and hopefully they are still there before they close the doors. I have the Aero upper receiver, KAC URX II 10.75, LMT BCG, Dead Air/SOLGW flash hider (It was a drunk buy dam you Bulleit)
and a BCM charging handle. This will turn into my go to SBR when the Barrel shows...Oh KAC rear sight and a Aim point Comp M4 because I have being using a CompM4 for years now.

If they are done myself and sa few others on the site have sent stuff out to John Thomas at Retro Arms Works. He does great work with good pricing and fast turnaround times. For example, I sent an upper for assembly on a Friday and had it back the next week. Believe it was $30-35 for the assembly. Has also done some pin/weld for me and they look really nice (much better than ADCO for example). I know it doesn't affect function, but shows his attention to detail

Just shoot him an email if you need another option, always replies quickly

John Thomas is great. Finest pin/weld in industry. But he doesn’t have a URX wrench (at least not two months ago). D Wilson is a KAC gunsmith and does a great job too at good prices. (https://www.dwilsonmfg.com/store/c1/store).
