By conversion do you mean that it works with the existing barrel extension on an AR10 or its the piece that replaces the barrel extension?

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
The conversion works with the standard extension, you supply barrel and factory extension we do the rest.

You are confusing us slower children. Barrels I can find. Where do I get the factory extention that I need to furnish?

I have a question for DBMG, though. What about any head spacing concerns? Should the bolt be sent with the barrel for the conversion?

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
Yes on the MWS conversion we would like to have the bolt for double checking the head space

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
I would really like to see some pictures of a modified barrel if it is possible. I have been thinking about getting a LMT MWS but the lack of barrels has been stopping me. I really want a 20 inch 6.5 Creedmoor; it seems to me that is the Cartridge to get right now for an AR-10. I assume that you are adding a piece of metal to the barrel extension which includes the bracket which supports the gas tube, if so how is it attached? Do you remove that barrel extension as part of the process? Is anything welded?

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
Has anyone done the 6.5 CM Noveske? I see on the DBMG site that someone has but is it someone on this site? Would love to hear more.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
It would be great if you could show some before and after pics of barrels.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
I'm interested in fit and finish. I just wonder when people sell stuff that they don't have pics of- I'm just a visual type of guy. If they don't get their MWS extensions from LMT, it would be interesting to see if they differ, or if you can even tell the diference.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
Thank you for the interest, we are always trying to improve our business. Feed back is the most important part. I will make sure we have better pictures of before and after for both barrel conversions. DBMG strives for perfect fit and finish, I am sure the best way to quantify this is through customer responses. There are many people who have posted on the quality, fit and finish on many sites, most say better fit then factory.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
Any interest in new barrels, any brand contoured to your spec's? We think this would give even more options for caliber and barrel contour.

Even better!
However if they could come up with a barrel that weighed a pound or so less than the current 16" offering I'd be pleased as punch even if it weren't hammer forged. I just wonder if it can be done.

Could you beat LMT's price point on their SS barrels?
Also, I have another question: I've been considering sending a barrel/bolt to you with the Armalite extension on it for conversion. Would this require that I use the Armalite bolt carrier as well?

What DBMG is getting at is spinning up barrels from blanks. Nothing wrong with Rock barrels but is every custom bolt rig built on a Rock...no. Some people prefer a particular brand and flavor of blank, this would allow you to BK it and have it your way vice going the quarter pounder with cheese route. Any 308 bolt face round, any twist rate available from a barrel maker, possibly some different profiles depending on application.
The LMT MWS bolt will work with either the DPMS or Armalight (and Noveske) extentions. Most of the conversions done for the MWS have been Noveske barrels. MRP's have been a mixed lot of everything lol. </div></div>

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
RE25,
The only time I seen $481 was for 308 CM. Can you tell me how you went about ordering that and how you got that price. Thanks, For that Price I think I may go the 260 route. Is that 20" and threaded?

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
I wanted to publicly apologize to DBMG for posting on this thread about LMT's barrel prices. I didn't realize this thread was about his conversions and he was trying to offer his services. DBMG offers a great service at an even better price point. My post was not intended to harm his business.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
RE25,
no need to apologize, I would prefer every one lays all the cards on the table.
We would be willing to take a few orders for custom countours if any one is inerested.
Dont forget when we are talking pricing, all snipers hide members get a 10% discount. The discount is not just on conversions, all barrels and products we sell.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
Thanks again for converting the 20" Noveske 6.5CM and removing the threads. Still need to upgrade from my stock LMT trigger but plenty of 5 shot groups under 0.80" at 100 yards with the first 120 rounds of factory Hornady AMAX. Everyone with an MRP or MWS should consider the Effetto Mariposa torque wrench for barrel changes because it tops out at the recommended 140 and allows for on board SOPMOD or A2 stock storage.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
Anybody talked with DBMG lately? After reading on this list, I sent 3 brand new Noveske barrels to them for MWS/MRP conversions over a month ago. 10 days ago he said they were done and leaving the shop. I still haven't seen them, have no tracking information, and no phone calls are going through today. I hope he is just swamped with work, but would really like to see my barrels again. At one point he was advertising 48 hour turn around. Anybody have any recent information about them?
Thanks.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
Same here-- I ordered a Noveske 18" from them in Aug for an MWS conversion-- At the time he said he had the barrels in stock and it would be two weeks. They happily took my money...
They won't return phone calls, answer emails, etc.. I'm ready to report to BBB unless I can get a hold of them this week. It's starting to piss me off.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
I had DBMG do two MRP barrel conversion for me. The first was a 10.5” Noveske 300aac Blackout and it went very smooth and I had my barrel back in less than one week. This fall I inquired before I sent a new barrel to them so make sure they would be able to convert it. The barrel is a 5” Tros 9mm with a 3-lug end. Due to the size I did not think that could do it, LMT said it could not be done. I sent it to them but the same thing. It took a month to get it back. They were slow to return call and emails. They said they were moving the shop and were running into problems. With all that said I am very happy with the end work.
As far as the finish it looked great but, the fit was not the best. It was a very tight fit in the MRP. I had to sand off the finish on both the collar and the bolt groove. The second part I had to sand was the 3-lugs to get my Gemtech suppressor to fit. The suppressor has always been tight so with the new finish it was vary tight. It is still tight be functions great and looks good to.

I called DBMG this past Thursday and they quoted me a one week turnaround time. He admits to being somewhat overwhelmed by the demand for barrel conversions and is getting to them as fast as possible. That said, I decided to send him my Lilja barrel for conversion. It arrives there on Tuesday. I will update the thread when its completed and on its way back. I expect it to take longer than quoted, but he appears to be the only game in town.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
I am expecting one of two, 308 and 6.5 creedmoor next week. I had switchblock installed for running 7.62SD can on a 20 inch 308 Noveske. The 308 barrel is shipping first. He said that it should be shipping by Wednesday or Thursday. I too will post update and pics if possible.

Re: LMT MWS barrel conversion
gunfuel...both of those two options sound sweet, and I'd love to hear some feedback from you once you receive the barrels back and do some shooting with them.
I'm really interested to hear about your 6.5cm setup...what barrel/specs did you go with on this?

Thanks pal for the reply, I can't wait to get a 6.5cm setup going for my MWS. Look forward to seeing how yours shoots and looks
In regards to the 1:10 twist...pardon my ignorance on this topic as I'm a total newbie to the 6.5cm. Can you expound on why you went with that particular twist rate?
