    Contacting criterion barrels

    For sure call them. They have always been super helpful anytime I have needed anything.

    Bummer. That’s the only person I have ever had any direct dealings with there.

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    There is a guy in California making those front sights, I’ll pm you his info if you want to go that route. That’s where I got this one. 1600 for a handguard is more than I could stomach, maybe if all the rest of the parts were KAC, but for a cloneish, couldn’t do it. Plus, like you said...

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    If you get on the URX2 list at Operation Parts I think you will eventually get one for a sane price. They will never show in stock on the website, they will email you and ask if you still want one. Could put it together temporarily with a centurion rail, just to get some use out of all those...

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    Calling it the MK 11 mod .5 . The only KAC parts on the entire gun are the rear sight, flash hider, and rail covers. I didn’t take it very seriously, put it together as a fun gun. And all the mk11 barrels were sold out. I know Craddock could spin me one, but with wait times close to a year.. I...

    Franklin Armory Produces NFA Exempt Short-Barrel Firearm

    It’s all semantics. They leveraged the ATF’s definition of what constitutes a rifle, shotgun, and or firearm. If there is no specific chamber geometry to be able to fire their multi projectile ammunition this should apply to all 5.56/.223 rifles. There is no way a sane person could argue...

    SR25 Upper Compatibility

    Do your pins go in easy on that upper? I had a lead on some Troy uppers but it looks like they fit about the same as the Centurions.

    SR25 Upper Compatibility

    In summary the front pin won’t go in on either SR25 upper without a slight reaming. On one LMT lower the pin goes on partially, on another it will seat but with a fair amount of resistance. Lines don’t look bad but there is a slight gap. I’ll run with it for now.

    Can you bed without using any Loctite?

    If I’ve never put that much heat back into it. All of them I’ve ever done basically turn your reciever into a thermal fit upper. A bit of heat to get the old barrel out, remove any loose or flaking stuff, lightly rough the loctite present in the upper already, re-apply loctite to the new...

    Can you bed without using any Loctite?

    A little heat and it will still come out with loctite.

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    I saw his videos. That was part of inspiration for mine. I think you could get away with machining the hand guard on a LM8 or maybe one of the m-lok uppers for the double railed GB’s. Definitely not on a quad railed version though. Like you said, kind of kills the aesthetic of the whole thing...

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    @5RWill Did you put one together with the SR25 cartel/HTX barrel/gas block with a LMT upper?
