Eta on delivery for 11.5 suppressor bbls?
Barrels are getting chambered this week, so probably 4 weeks.
Black River Tactical
BRT OPTIMUM Hammer Forged Chrome Lined Barrels - 11.5", 12.5", 14.5", 16"
BRT EZTUNE Preset Gas Tubes - PISTOL, CAR, MID, RIFLE
BRT Bolt Carrier Groups M4A1, M16 CHROME

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.

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?

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).
