Ok great info guys. Thanks for sharing. I don't feel so bad now. Although ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain, I'm glad I went with the AR500 plates. I've shot the shit out of my AR500 targets with all my weapons at CLOSER than recommended ranges and they have held up well. I bought a plate carrier and plates to have the best protection available to me for the long term. I'll gladly tote the extra 2 pounds for the knowledge that I'm wearing as good as it gets that I can afford. Plus I bet the First Spear carrier is lighter than the average bear so I'd like to weigh plates and carrier when I get mine and do a comparison. I'll bet the difference isn't all that much.

There's no such thing as plates being too heavy. You're just either in a high gravity zone or you're sipping on weak sauce. :cool:

Yeah, I'd rather lug the weight of the plates than the bullet, and you easily convinced me steel > ceramic, but if there is a lighter steel option that offers the same protection................

Give me a week to get uncovered from AR500 and we can talk about it. I'll email them now.

But, why these guys and not green mountain? And how many of you want a barrel without the FSB already on it (I know the offer two with the FSB).

I would be interested in a Black Hole Weaponry barrel group buy.

I got some info from ESS.

What you see on that page is what they got.

I asked about getting the other barrels with the FSB installed, that is a nogo, on the ones listed with a FSB get an FSB, you will have to send it out or do it yourself.

They do not have AK 74 barrels (if anyone other than me was interested).

They do not make 20: barrels, or offer any chambers other than 5.56 (so Wylde and 223 are out).
They do have a
There is no extra cost for different twists. Most barrels are 1-7 or 1-9, and anything listed as a HB (heavy barrel) is 1-10. In 1-8 you can get the M4 16” and the SOCOM 18” Nitride.

Chrome lining is a extra $31.

We'd have to meet a 10 barrel min?

I'd take a finished CBA-M4-160-556-03 1in7" if we can do this.

You guys keep in mind here, that they offer both of those FSB mounted barrels in 5.56 and 7.62mm. So, technically, there are 4 barrels offered with FSBs. Those of you guys going with clamp on low-pro gas blocks can order anything there without having to have machine work done later.

FIFY.

BTW, I have no idea on real pricing yet, Shipping has to get added in as well as a few shackles for Danman to buy his monkey porn and for the Governor to get polish for his head. Figure somewhere between 15 and 25% over what they list.

Working on real pricing now, waiting on a shipping quote from the vendor.

When working with a really small margin (under 10%) little shit can easily turn a positive venture into a "why the fuck did we do this".
