    Barrels and bolts have dried up!

    Has anyone seen any used 20"barrels and bolts lying around?

    I know where complete BCG's were for sale at $150 + shipping. I only used the company to build a FAL so I can't say if the parts are good. My experience was positive though.

    (They were for sale last I checked). ETA: shows in stock

    PM me and I'll give you the site.

    I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the difference between barrels,as I'm new to AR's.I am using the triangle handguards,and an A1 advertised upper receiver.My parts will be mostly USGI.

    I found one on EBay... but is wasn't USGI or normal HBAR 20 inch, but a HBAR style barrel that was fluted up to the .750 area for the gas port, and then after the gas port.

    Match barrel, a little funky, but since most of the fluting will be under the hand guards, it should be fine.

    There were others...

    I was told by a FFL friend that everyone seems to have the same issues finding parts like the bolt carrier group and even the extractor. Things are crazy I have two receivers that I would like to build out and cannot find all the parts. I'm in no hurry as Md may cause me to move some rifles out of state.

    Prince i found these on one of the facebook subforums NW missouri gun trader, guy didnt post a price yet he will have to or the mod will pull his add
    F Knott IIINW MISSOURI GUNS AND AMMO TRADE AND SELL

    More finds from the crypts...2 used M-16/AR-15 barrels. No visible damage, bores look good, threads clean. I do not know the history of these, and there are no markings other than "C MP C". If you don't like the listed price, inform me in a business like manner, based on facts, as I have priced them at less than half of new prices I found on the 'net. Located near Lake Ozark, prefer FTF, but will ship on your dime. Post dissapeared must have sold them real fast or the mod pulled it
