We just got our new reamers in last week. Hopefully it won't be too much longer!

Now in stock! Woohoo! Order has been placed. #59398
Will you please headspace the bolt and the barrel in that order?

Thanks!

Question: I ordered the 20" Armalite version, with Armalite bolt. Does this barrel also use the Armalite gas tube length?

Yes

Thanks! Next question...

I'm putting together my MA-TEN build.

MA-TEN = DPMS barrel nut.
Armalite pattern barrel and BCG (see order above). This means I need an Armalite gas tube, which is slightly longer than the DPMS gas tube.

I'd like to go with the APEX rifle length hand guard. I notice there are 2 styles offered: Armalite style and DPMS style, and IIRC there's a .25" or .5" length difference between the two. Which of these do I need? Is this difference based on the barrel nut used, which means I need the DPMS style? Or does the length issue have something to do with the gas tube length used, meaning I need the Armalite version?

The handguards are not based on the barrel nut used...the difference rather is in the length. So yes, you'll need the Armalite version.

So you only have Armalite pattern only? If so, what's the time line for DPMS pattern?

Soon...no exact ETA, but it shouldn't be too long.
