Maksim Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 To answer the above questions. The barrels will meet the USPSA rules for Production use unless they change that one too. They will first be available as Match/Target barrels only, then shortly there after be available as a semi-drop in. We don't know the retail price as of yet of have a firm delivery. If you would like to see the first production prototype in the demo gun we're bringing with us to Shot Show, look for us to be loitering around the Smith LE booth at the show. You can't miss me, I'm 6'3" and wearing an Apex shirt. Scott @Apex looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recoil45 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) What is the twist rate on these? I am wondering how they will handle the 147s. Edited December 29, 2011 by Recoil45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flork Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 These will be a 1:16" twist, same as Bar-Sto uses across the board. These barrels should handle the 147gr bullets like a champ.

Flork Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yes, we will be offering fitting services, at the moment I don't have a price lined out for that. We will need the complete gun to assure a proper fit. Scott @ Apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddler Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Did anyone get a look at this at SHOT? What did you learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Did anyone get a look at this at SHOT? What did you learn? They did not have any in the booth. However, I spoke with Irv. The first 500 went to APEX. Should be a month or so before the next batch gets out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flork Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hey guys, I need to make a correction to what what said above. The first batch of 500 Will go to Apex. The barrels have not been approved for manufacture, there are only 5 prototypes in existence for the moment, we have 3 of them and Bar-Sto has the other 2. We, along with Bar-Sto will be shooting these barrels over the next few weeks in an effort to see how they hold up. If all goes well, we should be releasing the Bar-Sto/Apex M&P barrel in around 6 months. Scott @ Apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddler Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 If all goes well, we should be releasing the Bar-Sto/Apex M&P barrel in around 6 months. Scott @ Apex Thanks Scott. That helps me prioritize expenses. Guess I can go ahead and get that new trigger for my AR and wait til next season / next year for this barrel.

Flork Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The test barrels are being shot for durability and longevity now, we should have something like 50,000 rounds through them soon. Scott @ Apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott @ Apex Scott - do you and Randy have a waiting list for the drop in barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flork Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 No, we don't have a waiting list for the barrels. We don't have an exact release date yet so we're not setting up a waiting list. The best thing you can do is watch our Facebook and blog or sign up for the news letter. Scott @ Apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsa Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 How is the protytype testing going? These can't be ready for sale soon enough. My frustration with the accuracy of my M&P Pro grows daily. I am still searching for a load that shoots better than 5 inches at 25yds. I can pick up a friends Glock or CZ Shadow and shoot it more accurately with my reloads than my M&P.

Flork Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The testing is going well. The blanks are still in process at Bar-Sto, but they are progressing nicely. Scott @ Apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent C Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 These look interesting. Looking forward to hearing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p5200 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 So these (will) be drop in barrels also? I already have a KKM drop in conversion barrel so I will probably just stick with it unless, they prove to be much better shooting barrels. I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread just in case though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flork Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 There will be semi drop in and match target barrels in 9 and 40. Compact, Full Size and Pro lengths will be available. Scott @ Apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrjet Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Are you planning on releasing locking blocks to further the lockup and accuracy. If so when? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
