This is just my opinion. The ATF guidlines are for making an NFA barrel non NFA. In other words what do they consider a level of permenant that makes 2 pieces of metal one piece of metal so as not to violate NFA laws. They do not indicate what they consider to be a permenant attachment of a muzzle brake to a barrel that is not NFA. NJ does not give any indication either. So this is one of those grey areas. However, the one item of inerest to me is this. Unfortunatly the state only seems to be willing to speak to companies large enough to hire legal teams. But I am betting that before any large company risked having all their product seized in NJ, someone agreed that blind pinning a stock on an ar was considered permenant. So how can you say a blind pin is considered permenant on one side and not the other?

Cerakote's per day price on their class for cert is STEEP! Steep enough that in my mind, if your not going to go full bore into coating, its not worth the price.

Topher, reprtedly that was the point of the execution. They wanted to showcase their ability to work in Ti. Titanium is a rather different beast to machine.

Colt 6920's could be found for aboud 1k last week. Not sure about this week though....

I realised that after I asked the price point question that it has become a muddy water, slippery slope question. I would not hesitate for one second to go buy a couple BCM's, Danial Defences, Colt 6920's or insert quality AR here. The panic buying has begun. Im watching prices rise by the day and rifles I have been watching on other forums for months are ALL gone in a day.Other wise I think you will potentially have a long wait until the hysteria stops and inventory recovers.

Must have been a **** to hold on to that dust cover!

Age doesnt matter. Use does

Best out of the box at what budget/price point?

If BBQ guns are your thing...

Too thick would be my guess.

I dont care for it on pistols because I find it a bit thick and it has no lubricity. However I do like it on rifles, especially the non IR reflective kind . As for durability I find it better than duracoat but not as good as Norrells.

With all the reports coming in about criminals actually traveling to get to nice neighborhoods to do their deeds, it seems to me that home carry is prudent in the same manner of wearing your seatbelt. You dont plan on getting into an accident but it could happen, even if the chance is remote.

Eventually ill travel over there and see if where I lived is still there!

High mpg = low rwhp

They are made to break away I believe. Not really a floor/livable space.

If Im not mistaken,they (he) primarily is/was a barrel maker with his carbon wrapped barrels so I would be suprised if you could not buy just the barrel.

22" .260 needs a longer tube.

Its a custom build from GA Precision. I think its around around 3600ish. The Hensoldt 4X16 you see in the background is moving to this rifle. I have a USO 5X25 for the 338LM now. I think you could use another upper and lower. The Iron Ridge Arms upper and lower add a good deal of cost to this build. So you could trim some money there. If you didnt go with a full custom order barrel you could cut down a good deal there too. Shane

What I would build for me may not be good for you. I think you should methodically research the parts that meet your needs. Here is a precision semi built for my needs. Bartlian Barrel, IRA Upper and Lower, Geissele match trigger, DD forend, Surefire brake, PRS stock. (Its not a 308, its a .260 but the only difference is the hole bored in the barrel )

Thanks for the kind words guys

If I had'nt seen this very thing happen to someone myself I would agree with you. But I watched a similer scenario go down and it wasnt even over something said. It was for a fictional paper written for college that seemed "too real" for the teacher that ended up with the same kind of 3 letter agency visit and a required psych eval OVER A FICTIONAL PAPER!!!!!!!!!

Should be bringing this home this weekend!

Well my guess would be no one wanted to testify. But with video evidence now no one needs to. Just a guess though.

You would need night vision to see my laser pointer

I miss my 69
