      10" & a 14.5 " would be the only next viable options.. We'll all see how this all
      unfolds. Looks great so far. !

      A lot of pizza, and burgers were consumed while checking details on BFT's design ! It was not fun for my wife that tagged along a few times.

      Eye rolls were the norm,,, you guys are too nerdy for this project,,,,, why was I invited along? Let the bbl. makers do this stuff! Heee Heeeeee!

      Sorry hun, it's the only time this month I have free for a medium slow- fast dinner out with you , in winters bone chilling warmth.

      I'm to build my 16" Faxon in a week- so BFT & I can test it here at the local range, this month. Well before deer season.

      Hearing great reports on the hunting tube.

                I'm in for one... I'll send the payment and form out today.

                This will be great for suppressed nighttime piggy killing, and will complement my 16" setup from the first group buy nicely. I was just starting to browse BHW barrels for a for a shorty, and saw this. Good timing!

                I assume there will be less wait for setup time once the 50 have been reached, as Faxon already has the tooling needed for this from the last GB. That will be nice.

                If any of y'all are thinking about this but don't know about the wait, go ahead and send in yer money! These barrels are cheap, and you can get a refund any time before 50 orders are reached in case you get impatient and decide to go ahead and build with another barrel.

                  BFT....i am pretty sure you are aware....there is a group buy going on in another forum for a barrel nearly identical to this one, but 1/2" longer. Any thoughts on you getting with that guy, and perhaps getting this one done quickfastinajiffy???

                    KS183, yes, am aware. We've chatted via email and there is a possibility, but we'll see. The group buys here are part of a larger program as a service to the forum members, so we'll see if there is a way to mesh with a one-off project.

                      Well.....here's to hoping... Committed to that one already, and whats a half inch among friends....

                      Unless you want to make this one a midlength....then i'm sure i can find room for another.....

                          I'm interested in trying to load some subs with Hornady 160gr bullets. Will the 1-8 twist be sufficient for this purpose as well?

                          I currently have a cut down Sabre barrel (11.5") and I'm going to load some 160s for it soon to test out.

                          Gratuitous pic....



                          I love this blaster... Does great out to 600 which is the farthest I have access to at the moment.




                          Really want to pickup a Faxon tube to make a twin.

                              Very interested as well, currently collecting parts for a suppressed SBR Grendel. What's the recommendation for BCG? Something fairly standard like JP or PF, or go the LMT E-carrier route with Grendel bolt?
