EDIT: Del Ton's barrels are 0.75" at the front sight base, not 0.625". That will not do. So I am going to fall back 15 yards and punt.
This is step 1 in making a 14.5" R653 Israeli model.
Step 2 is getting the lower engraved.
Step 3 is getting another tax stamp.
Step 4 is sending the barrel off to Adco or some such to be cut down.
I went with Del Ton because I've had good luck with them before. Their barrels are the prized chromoly vanadium steel (CMV) that the military issues.
I would have gone with Bravo Company's 14.5" lightweight, but they never seem to have any in stock. Besides I don't care for 1:7 rifling because I typically don't buy rounds heavier than 69gr and 1:9 is ideal for the 62gr M855
There were several other place selling this profile with 1:9 twist, but they are mostly 4140. Del Ton is not charging more for the better steel, so why not?
Bushmaster sells one in 4150 that's almost as good as CMV, but they're liars. I don't spend my hard earned on liars.
