I did get a confirmation in my Hotmail junk box.

Last week I ordered the BHW/Columbia 6X45 1X9 18 B/R TC MACH for $91.25 shipped.
Today, I bought five uppers, a BCG and some gas blocks and gas tubes for other builds from Delta Team Tactical.
Don't need no muzzle break for the target crown on the bull barrel 6x45.
I plan to put a schedule 40 handguard on this build.
The extra upper I bought is reserved for the group buy of the 6mm AR turbo improved.
I didn't get a confirmation email so I called Columbia and the woman there said my order was in and it may take a week or two to get the barrels out since the demand was so great. I did check my credit card and they already charged my account so I guess I am good to go, unless they mis-counted their stock.Last edited by bj139; 12-22-2017, 03:29 AM.

Just curious. Why did you go with a 1x10 twist?
They are showing one in stock with a 1x9 twist right now with the same specs as your other barrel.Last edited by StoneHendge; 12-22-2017, 04:32 AM.Let's go Brandon!

Spinning thin jacketed Varmint bullets too fast can spin the jacket off or alter them enough to affect accuracy at range, so I went with 1x10. Longer, heavier 6mm bullets will get fed to the 26” 6mm Grrrr upper that will share the lower.

Thanks for the responses to my question on email notification. Please don't take this wrong but I'm glad it's not only me.
I just couldn't pass up the deals, I'm getting two barrels for less than I paid for my last one. I ordered a 12.5" 264LBC 1-8 standard profile for a pistol build and a 16" 264LBC 1-8 LT/C for a light weight carbine build. My 20" 264LBC is the most accurate rifle I've ever shot.
I'm trying to decide on the uppers. I have several New Frontier Side Charging Uppers on 300 BO's and really like them but can buy four Aero Uppers for the same money as one of the New Frontier. Decisions, decisions, lol.

Schuyler Arms, http://www.schuylerarmsco.com/ is having a Winter sale. All VG6 muzzle brakes $40. Aero M4E1 Cerakote FDE lower for $85 and Upper / Lower set for $150.
Grayfox - Thanks for the info on the Norma Brass. I have some 223 Norma brass and I'm pretty impressed with the quality. I haven't seen any reviews on the 6.5 Grendel Norma brass. Has anyone tried it? I'm assuming it's similar to Lapua as to quality and number of reloads and at $75/100 quite a bit less expensive than Lapua.Last edited by JethroBodine; 12-22-2017, 01:11 PM.

No need to worry about rust.
17-4 is better in almost every way. Better rust resistance (i believe its food grade as well as some 300 series) and better stability in the cold.
Walther makes 17-4 barrels as well as polymer80 just released their new barrels which are also made out of 17-4 same as their slides.
Anyone else having trouble saving money lately?
