98Z5V Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 They would be a very damn good choice. I'm sending my 18" .308 barrel to them for cutting down to 14"-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsdmmat Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Well it should be about 60 days before the barrels are worked on. The good news is that both of my barrels have enough meat on them to accomplish the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1loco Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 You can get an 18" American made stainless steel barrel in E-bay for $190; shipping included. Chrome-molly for less. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsdmmat Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) You can get an 18" American made stainless steel barrel in E-bay for $190; shipping included. Chrome-molly for less. Just saying. It is not the type of barrel need though. I need a barrel without a gas port drilled and that is considered a special order item. Either way I look at it I am going to be paying 250+ for a barrel. By having the extension put on my barrel I get the profile of the barrel I want without the gas port in the length I want. It shouldn't be too much longer on the machining. A friend of his just replaced an AR 308 barrel and only wanted the barrel extension, so my gunsmith has an example that he can reference when machining mine.

dsdmmat Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Still waiting on the barrel to be done. I am going on an all expenses paid vacation to the armpit of the world so hopefully it will be done when I get back. I have all the parts except the barrel. I even went out and bought an Aero lower for the project last week. It was 190 bucks at the gunshow so I said, "what the hell?" I am thinking I will probably have a slot milled in the upper and thread a bolt into the bolt carrier for it to be a side charger. I have a couple of white oak uppers that are configured this way and it is really nice to have a side pull on a bolt action AR. Anyway the wait continues.

98Z5V Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yep, damn sure be as safe as you can be. Outside of that, kick some ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsdmmat Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Well the good news is my vacation has been canceled and the bad news is I am still waiting. Not really bad news but the project is on hold until my barrel is finished. Which leads me to build other projects while I am waiting. I have built a 300 AAC blackout upper and have been playing around with it at the range. I have mounted a red dot sight on it and have been running 110 grain Vmax over IMR 4227 and pinging an 8x12 steel swinger plate at 200 yards with it. It is a fun little gun while I wait for my barrel to be finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsdmmat Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Update: the bad news is my REM 700 donor barrel will not have enough meat in the shank after we shorten it up to the proper length to chamber it in 308 Winchester. The good news is my AR15 in 17 Remington is proceeding we cut the threads for the barrel extension today. I will just put the straight pull bolt action AR308 on hold and build a semi auto since all I need now is a barrel, gas block, muzzle brake and gas tube. If I can find a heavy barrel chambered in 308 for a donor I will proceed with a straight pull upper for one of my AR308s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
