wayneeh Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I am trying to purchase barrel extensions to fit the DPMS 7.62 platform in bulk directly from a machining supplier. Does anyone know a source? Also, does anyone have a dimensional drawing of the 7.62 DPMS style barrel extension? Thanks for the help.

98Z5V Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Brownell's:Linky: http://www.brownells.com/1/3/dpms-lr-308-barrel-installation-partsNot quite "direct from the manufacturer," but it's a source with a good price. Only other option I can possibly think of is direct phone conversation with Adam at Ballistic Advantage. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I wonder if Citadel makes the extensions for DPMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneeh Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Thanks for the info. I was able to find Ballistic Advantage. Is there anymore info on Citadel like a website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Doesn't Fulton Armory and SI Defense make their own extensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Thanks for the info. I was able to find Ballistic Advantage. Is there anymore info on Citadel like a website?I could never find much on Citadel. I even went through some business directories. Hard to believe in 2011 a business can operate with so little presence. Maybe intentional.There's an AR shop that sells the Citadel barrels. Perhaps they know how to contact Citadel.

survivalshop Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Doesn't Fulton Armory and SI Defense make their own extensions?

98Z5V Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 As far a s a dimensional drawing , ya got me there .Same here - Ive got CAD files on many AR related things, and I've never been able to find anything on barrel extensions, be it 5.56 or .308/7.62. If I ever find something like that, I'd post it up in an instant. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Do you guys think the S/S extension made by SI Defense is good idea? I plan on getting their S/S FailZero BCG. I'm afraid to put in a regular steel extension against a s/s BCG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I don't think they make the bolt out of stainless, do they? Just the bolt carrier. Guys run tool steel bolts in stainless barrel extensions all the time.Found the answer on their website:We machine the bolt carrier from 416 stainless steel to provide years of corrosion resistant use. The carrier has been lightened with fluting on the rear of the carrier, while still retaining the strength. The bolts are machined from SAE 9310 steel, magnetic particle inspected and shot peened.
