[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2539172, member: 17722"] I now have on hand donated 20 .224 Shilen SS Select Match 7.5T Ratchet blanks to finish for the TX Juniors Service Rifle Team. Finished barrels will have heavy contour NM, 1.000 inch for 12.125 under the handguard. By rules, gas block journals are at 0.750. I use 30 cal A2 flash hiders for crown protection. Barrel extensions are 0.300 longer than original M16 and threads are 20 TPI instead of the M16 threads at 16 TPI. The 3 lathes will be busy; one set up to chamber, 2nd one for contouring, and the 3rd for threading the muzzle end. Sort of mini production. Not in the business, just a hobbyist, doing my community service supporting the juniors, the future of our competition community. These batch will be issued next year when we re-barrel their competition AR15s. Almost forgot, before I start on this batch of. 224 barrels I will spin up a .223 M1 Garand barrel. [/QUOTE]
