    BM59E barrel VS BM59 barrel?

    Can the BM59 barrels Sarco is selling be used with the BM59 kits with the bipod and tri compensator? I am assuming no and they have to be modified but wanted to ask if anyone has tried it.

    they cannot be used with the ital kit in any way, there is no way to modify it to work, unless you have some way to make the chamber end 1/2" longer

    Is there anyone currently selling BM59 barrels? I have looked around and have not found any so what is everyone else using for their builds?

    OK I must have missed that, what barrels are you using and how much are they? Sorry I just saw the price for converting a criterion barrel.

    no one is mass-producing any and originals are virtually impossible to find. Your only option is to have a new .308 barrel modified to BM59 ital

    You cannot purchase a barrel modification unless shuffle also does your receiver mod

    Can the chrome-line Fulton Criterion barrels be used for this?
