Finally got around to mounting a scope on my AR10 build. Went with a Meopta Optika5 3-15.

Is that competitive pricing for non-chrome?

ETA: it’s probably a Ballistic Advantage barrel with Aero markings. Which is fine.

Was drinking some willet purple top tonight.

That’s .300blk upper SBR. Scope was supposed to come in tonight for it but looking like it will be tomorrow. I’ll throw up some pics when I get it mounted.

No, not really.

You can get an FN CHF Chromed barrel for about the same price if you catch ait right.

Geissele used to have that same price as their intro price for their CHF Chrome barrels, but now they raised them to $330+ (typical G overcharging, though).

Centurion CHF Chrome barrels are $270 with a 10% promo code and those are some of the very best CHF barrels made.

Some ppl claim they are sub-MOA.

I've seen their 556 LW profile get about 1.3 MOA w/5 shot groups.

Anyone know of a place where to buy a suppressor in installments while it’s in jail?



If you mean jail with conjugal visits, I don't

But if you just mean installments while waiting on your stamp, Capital Armory will do that for a fee I think (I haven't done it but I think it's like 25 dollars or something around there)

SilencerCentral allows you to pay with EZ-Pay. You can also use Credova at several online shops. I think they have a list of stores on their site.

I’m pretty sure if you’re going the payment plan route, you still have to pay for the stamp in full ($200) up front

I don't know jack about suppressor purchases, but I used to do FFL transfers at a local range. They would allow me to shoot the firearm while still in a delay, it just had to be at that range, and I had to leave it with them.

Offhand, I would THINK there may be a similar deal with suppressors.

For a non-auto weapon I don't see a single advantage in chrome-lined. Most people think melonite is "worse" because it's cheaper, but sticking with a technology because the military chose it 50 years ago doesn't make much sense to me.

FWIW, I don't own a melonite barrel yet so this isn't fanboy talk. I have chrome-lined and stainless, but melonite would be my next purchase based on everything I've read, and I do have some materials knowledge under my belt although it's not my specialty..

I would argue that for 99.99999% of civilian use, nitride treated barrels are actually fractionally better due to corrosion resistance and marginally increased accuracy.

Garand Thumb moved his entire operation to Idaho because he saw this coming over a year ago.

He was previously based in Washington.
