hey denny the step from .750 to .740, is it going to be right at the fsb or further down?

plan on doing a dissy setup and would like to use this barrel. thanks

The step will be in the normal location, just in front of the front of the sight base.

Just curious, does anyone have the diameter measurements for a standard 16in HBAR? Denny, will this be significantly lighter?

Regarding weight, i've got two different weight estimates for a 16in HBAR from this site. One is 2.3 lb, the other is 2.7. i assume the difference is a question of what's included-- FSB, etc. But compared to the 2.5 lb estimate for Denny's barrel, we seem to be in a similar ballpark. Or?

Thanks! GH

I believe my RRA stainless middy was .98" under the HGs before I had it turned. I think BM HBARs are in the .9" neighborhood. This should be lighter than factory HBAR midlengths like RRA, but I'm not sure it would be lighter than a HBAR with the shorter HGs.

Standard Bushmadster Hbar: .980", then a step down .850" for about 3 inches before the FSB.

Sent a couple e-mails with questions. Not deal breakers, just some side questions about the barrel/options, about some of your other products as well. Just wondering if you got them.

Thanks,

Nothing really new to report. The barrels are being profiled and then off to chrome plating

I would say 30 days out or so.

I noticed you said there were some shipping rates that were gonna effect the prices. Do you have a "worst case scenario" price?

I can handle $300-$325, but over that and it'll be too high for me.

I would take two if I could get one in a super lt. wt. profile...

I have a LaRue .625 gas block waiting on a project...

Regardless... this configuration by this barrel maker and the smitty you are using

still sounds like a hot ticket...

Okay here is how I am going to do the line for these barrels.

I am going to put them on the website under the heading. "Chrome lined 1:7 Barrel" Some may stumble over it by accident by it is for the good people on this site.

Don't paypal for the barrel(s) but if you are ordering by Credit Card just proceed like a regular order and I will charge the card when I ship your barrel.

The basic barrel will come with the F height taper pinned front sight and barrel nut. There will be an option to order with complete Delta ring assembly. Another option will be with a Gas Tube and roll pin and the third basic option will be with Delta Assembly and Gas Tube and roll pin.

If you need something special just put it in the comments section of the order.

If you order using PayPal I will call you when the barrels come in and you can then send the paypal.

By using the website the order will be established and the number of barrels can be monitored by me so they don't get over-sold.

If the barrels sell out prior to their arrival I will put an out of stock notice on the barrels.

This is the best plan I can come up with to keep track and be certain of the order in which requests to purchase these barrels were received.

Thanks for all the interest and now we can proceed to get the line going.

Sounds good Denny. Your website is one of the cleanest for ordering IMO.

Thanks buddy. This was the easiest plan for everyone I could come up with. The website will automatically keep track of all barrels ordered, quantities, contact info etc and it will be entirely fair and impartial.

Mongo,

Thanks my friend. Your ordering one means a lot to me.

These barrels will not disappoint. They are the best of everything.

I have to ask, I notice the price on the website is $325 for the barrel. Is that just entered at the max amount possible so we can reserve barrels, or is that the final price? I imagine so, but was just checking.

Mine's reserved!

Thanks,
Gundraw

SHould we reserve a barrel though the webstore for complete builds as well? Re: our telephone conversation, 14 June, I switched my upper build order from the stainless Recon barrel to this one.
I need to call you about someting else ( emails are bouncing) Are you in teh shop at all this weekend or not until Tuesday?

Thanks,
Dennis

Order placed. I requested that the FSB be left off the barrel if you could.

Thanks!

Order placed. I too requested that the front sight be left off. If this cannot be done I understand.

Thanks Denny!

I'm in line. Please leave FSB detached.

Posted: 7/2/2005 7:24:48 PM EDT

[#46]

Judging by the number of people who want the front sight base left off (and no marring holes drilled through the barrel), one would hope this would be an option.

But the die is cast...
