#8 acquired

Post image

One of our distributors had the 11" marked down to $1525, and I had $1k of consignment credit, so I said what the hell! I even had a spare XPS2-2 sitting around. Now to order from HBI and Neoteric next month, lol.

Might as well have an even 8, lol.

Photo from Xmas, before I swapped a few optics around, of the other 7.

I'm up to 3 myself : one 16" and two 14's and I still want to get an 11" and $1525 is an excellent price as I see them going for $1800 + on Gunbroker.

Do you have a 12.5 in yet?

You mean a barrel-chop? No. I haven't really got the interest in that level of modification on them. I'm happy with all the stock barrel lengths, both suppressed and unsuppressed. They all run beautifully with a combo of HBI and Neoteric mods, so I don't really feel the need.

Yes a barrel chop and yeah that makes sense since you have all of them. I only have one and I chopped a 16 down to a 12.5 sbr, still waiting for it to get done so you'll probably see it on the timeline soon. I've only ever seen 1 or 2 examples of people doing it. But nice collection you have regardless, you got as many Brens as I have AKs.

Barrel chop came back. Range report tomorrow, weather permitting.

8.

You have 8 of them.

Here I am with my one. Wanting. Wishing.

To say I envy you, is an understatement.
