    Yes, it's almost done! My safe -in the safe future upper will be built and waiting for me to shoot, after I shoot out my 16" tube presently here.

    I offered to help package up those tubes with BFT. If he asks at the wrong day, I'm at the cabin. Otherwise I'll help him out.

    What was the total amount of bbls. made?

      Good news, boys! Here's the quote from Nathan's email this morning: "Pleased to report that 50 barrels have made it through production on the floor. Can you please confirm the language you would like to see, exactly, for the roll mark?"

      So, yeah, just got the roll mark to go and shipping will begin.

      Gonna be awesome, all-weather, kick-ass tubes!

                    Nicely done. No question about the reamer dimensions used to chamber these barrels!

                      Any recommendations on a no frills gas block? The gas tube+block, sights( going irons for the time being), and flash hider are all I have left besides waiting on this barrel..

                          Are these going to have a detent for centering set screw style gas block or would I be better off with a clamp style.

                            There is no detent. Faxon says a carbide bit can bite into the meloniting just fine, if necessary, but probably better off with clamp?
