I finally got my 45ACP suppressor out of jail. In anticipation of this eventuality, I had the 5" barrel on my Quarter Ten Circle 9mm AR turned .578x28 so I could directly thread the can on without an adapter. The work performed by Law Enforcement Sales was flawless and the function is wonderful. I highly recommend this courteous and professional business.

The barrel was just shipped Friday. I forgot to include a note. My address is on the box for return shipping. I will PM with full details. -bob

Thanks, I'll send it tomorrow. -bob

Sounds good. Reply with shipping address and I'll send it out. -bob

The OD of this barrel is .920. Also, it is already crowned. Any idea on price and turn around time? Thanks, Bob Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Great to hear that I'm off. I truly did not know that one could be assembled for so little. It should serve to encourage others to try their hand at a build. -bob

I have a Quarter Circle 10, 9mm barrel, about 5.5" long, that I want turned and tapped .578x28. I'm aware that isn't a conventional tap for 9mm but it is for 45ACP and I want to use the same can on two guns. Assuming there isn't a reason why this can't be done, does anyone have a recommendation for a shop to do this? Thanks, -bob

I completely agree. And regardless of price, the single element I look for is reliability. I have owned many nice vehicles for example. But there is always that one car that started every time. I miss that one. (rolled it, interstate black ice, 286000 miles, ran like a sewing machine) I have $2500 in a SBR without a single regret. You're right. Price isn't first.

Below, I have pasted a text file I wrote showing what I might need to spend on a custom AR15 build. I've only built a few and it can be surprising how fast the parts add up. The bottom line, from my limited experience, is that an impingement rifle will run between $700 to $2k. The extra money spent doesn't always mean you get a better gun. I swapped out several buffers on one build to eliminate FTF / FTE where I wanted to run suppressed. On that gun, the final cost didn't change but the performance was vastly improved. I'm posting this to share and learn.
