All the machine work. And they're made from an extrusion, which is expensive initially. If one doesn't need the integral top rail then you can cut that cost in half.

Thanks for the plug!!!

I will say that we are down to 1 or 2 of the Anderson barrels, so that probably won't work for everyone, but we have a nitrided 16" 223 Wylde lightweight profile with mid-lenght gas system that is very popular at $99.

If you're interested in building a rifle, I strongly urge you to jump on board with Doc's build party. Those who are worried about building the upper, don't sweat it, the upper is actually easier to assemble than a lower.

If you guys want to put together a package, we'll see what we can do to help out on a "group buy" type of discount, it won't be huge because prices are already depressed, but it will be something.

Dammit, Jeff... I wish you guys had some kind of inventory indicator on the website. <sigh> I was just looking at those barrels last night online and thought to myself that I had time to finish buying other presents and decide what all I needed to buy. I woulda pulled the trigger on at least the barrels last night had I known. ****. You got more coming in anytime? I'll buy the nitrided ones if I need to, but I don't really need nitride for ARs that ain't ever gonna get fired! lol Whatever I build at this party is prolly just gonna sit in the safe with all the others. :D


<edit> I ain't downin' on ya, either, I know what a PITA it is to keep up with the website. I'm just wishing... I'm sure that kind real-time tracking and updating software is ridiculously expensive. But it seems like I am watching stuff disappear as I am adding it to my cart! lol

Updated since barrel went out of stock. The lightweight middy barrel is a better barrel anyways. Parts list from Fat Boys Tactical

Upper out of stock now, have to find one somewhere else!

Substitute what you want.

Inventory is disappearing as you add them to your cart. Crazy, insane sells right now. I have been begging Anderson to cut us off another 50-100 barrels at that price, but they are too interested right now, they're working long shifts just trying to keep up with high demand parts.

We have uppers, we're holding some back for local sales. Due to sells, we've shorted our locals the last couple of weeks and we want to be able to take care of you guys.

Ok, so it looks like a lot of folks are in for the 17th of January, Sunday. It'll be in Tulsa, I'll post a new thread a week or two beforehand. Feel free to continue to post deals on parts (outside of FBT's always-awesome deals!) in this thread as you find them! Pretty sure I'll be able to bring parts for 3 complete rifle builds, so feel free to come and join in even if you don't have your parts and such yet... but I still get to take mine home when they're done! :P
