Now Joe is making one?
I really need to get on top of making one.
In time, in time.

The upper and handguard just got here. All I need now is the barrel/tube/block and the NWFA lower and I'll be ready to rock
I got the call but it looks like the barrel wont be done today. Should have it early next week. Sorry about that.
I finally picked up Joe's barrel today. It is really nice. I should not have mentioned that it was stainless so I could have swapped it out with my old one and kept this one without anyone knowing. I'll get some pics later
Here is the barrel kit. This is the same profile as mine except in stainless. The barrel in my bumpsaw and this one are both from Heller Enterprises / Tactical Ammunition. Custom Order Barrels
I'd thought I'd send them some thanks since they were very helpful in getting a custom barrel made for me in short notice for Joe.
These guys are local in St Helens, OR. These are new barrels that they are now making themselves in house and I've been really happy with how mine is performing. This one is the "special purpose" which is a heavier barrel.
I've also had good luck with their ammo, including their A max 750 gr 50 BMG in my single shot, though it does kick a heck of a lot harder than the federal stuff.
Though it does not look like it from the street they do have a sales counter and have parts and ammo in stock.

@bolus & @Joe Link
Another fish biting the hook here. Seeing these toys in action reminds of running the 60's. Now I want one.
I was looking through the barrels available at Tactical Ammunition, and thought maybe going 7.62x39 for a lesser ammo expense. Unfortunately there's nothing listed as available. Considering they make 308 (7.62x54) barrels, that gets me thinking my wants in a shorter chamber may be an option?
I was wanting to get a little feedback from you before I called them. Great info, thanks!!I gave Tactical a call, They can do barrels in 7.62x39 and have a few sizes in stock plus they can do one custom for you. They are going to shotshow this week though.
They said to give them a call today or next week if you wanted to get the details

I'll give them a call for a run down on a barrel.
