Where to get barrel cut down?

[Crazy1323]

Some of you might have seen my other thread. I am building my first SBR and have a few questions.

I was going to use a Daniel Defense CHF 12.5" Barrel in 5.56; however, I have decided to do 300 AAC Blackout instead.

Since no one makes a 12.5" barrel with a carbine length gas system I am going to get a 16" and have it cut down and threaded.

I am going to get the AAC barrel.

Where would you send it to get cut down? It doesn't have to be in the Southeast. It is going to take a while to get my Form 1 back so I have plenty of time.

Send it to adco. He specializes in at related things such as that. Just google adco firearms.

2nd adco. They do very good work.

Does AAC not make a 12" barrel? I thought they made them from 9" to 16"..

They have complete 12" uppers on the site, but no plain 12" barrels. Maybe they are just out.

It seems that the 12" 300 AAC Blackout barrels I am seeing are pistol length gas systems. Why are they pistol length? Will a 12" with a carbine gas system work? I guess I can always get an adjustable gas block.

check noveske. you may have to email them... they make better barrels anyhow just expect to pay more.

They are pistol length to reliably run subsonic ammo without a suppressor.

Will my gun be over gased if I run a pistol length gas tube with a supressor? I plan on running supressed almost all the time.

Also, noveske barrel is actually cheaper than the AAC, I just don't like their silver finish on their barrels. I would like like a carbine length gas system which is why I think I am going to cut down a 16"

Me and another guy are about to send ours to ADCO to cut them down to 14.5"

I wonder if we can get a group discount lol

Rob screwed up this thread and me posting this is the only way to mark this thread as read.
