    Is this the same barrel with a bit more hardware?
    Yes, it is the same one but with more hardware.

    The one on Impact Guns site is the one I purchased when they were having a sale at their store in Ogden, UT. I didn't realize that they had them posted online so I posted the one from PK's site.

    Marshall:

    I blew it on the specs. I believe you purchased a 16" bbl, which is a lot more acceptable to me (though I still don't know what I will do).

    I read a review on Midway (re the 18" version) that the 410 SS bbl required modifications to "mil-spec" handguards and to the gas tube. True?

    [NOTE: Are there really mil-spec mid-length handguards?]

    In the meantime, I will vote for Mr. Brown. This rebarrel job will be my little reward for his victory, and, my newest stimulus package. Although I take the mid-length caveats seriously, I wouldn't mind having this new bbl in a carbine version; I have plans for mid-lengths in the Spring.

    that's the barrel I have, 16" fluted stainless, 1 in 8, midlength, 5.56 chambering
    it loves Tap 75g, that's 1/2" groups
    also likes 64g Golddot
    never had a single issue with it and has fed everything I have thrown at it
    and I have done training with it with high round count

    Yes, I purchased the 16" barrel.

    I am putting a free floating VTAC on mine so I don't know about the handguards but I see no reason why they would not work.

    Thanks for the review. I wanted something that would cover the gamut from shooting varmints to home defense. It sounds like this will be the ticket.
