    BFT, any plans for a fluted barrel group buy?

    BFT, any chance you would consider a fluted barrel for a group buy?

    Would consider it, but it's down on the list after the existing buys. What specifications you have in mind?

      I'm just one guy and not sure there is even any interest from others for a fluted barrel, but something like a 20" fluted would be something I would be interested in. I know Faxon does fluted 5.56 and 7.62x51 barrels. Just figured if another Faxon group buy took place, they'd be able to do fluting since they already do that on their other barrels.

        I tried to get a flame fluted 6.5 g barrel group buy going on AR15.com and couldn't get to 50.

        BFT I'd like to see a 18" flame or straight fluted barrel with 5r rifling and the rest of the specs the same as the barrels you've been doing......and the Grendel logo

            Hopefully an 18" fluted hbar with the same chamber and bolt specs as BFTs group buy barrels will be in the mix

              Maybe the 18" group buy that is open now can be changed to fluted since it is moving so slowly? I'll send the extra cost out if you can get a figure on mine.

                Dude! Thats amazing news! I was hoping something like this would happen. I'm not a huge fan of fluting but i might be tempted to get a HBAR with fluting. Ive been in lust with those flame jobs for a little over a year... I'm fishing for a couple 20" as well but would be over the moon if i could just get a straight .750" with a slight .8" shoulder for gas block in RLGS. I HOPE THEY KEEP WITH THE 5R RIFLING.

                  I agree! Would love to support the group buy, but the way the 16" is going it looks like it'll take a year or more!

                    Oh crap, no 16" listed!
                    Keep looking!

                      Would Alexander Arms work with us on a group buy for a 16 or 18" fluted barrel?

                          No, don't do that. I would buy one and I really don't need another...

                            I hear that. Faxon current offers that configuration in 5.56. It'd be pretty cool chambered for our favorite cartridge.

                            At Faxon Firearms, we pride ourselves in creating quality parts and firearms. Trust our years of experience when buying your next barrel, bcg, or complete rifle.

                              I'm paid up in the 20" group buy. Would love to get it fluted. I'm in, how can we get it done.
