cecil Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I would like to turn down this barrel to eliminate weight.. can this 9mm PCC barrel be turned down by a machinist ? Link to comment
MoRivera Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Probably, but why not get a lighter barrel, unless you've already bought it? The cost will probably turn out to be the same or maybe even less. Edited May 12, 2020 by MoRivera Link to comment

Call Donnie at StageZeroShooting. I believe he had Leadstar barrels in stock. You can also check out Wiland USA. Their LLW barrel is 16 oz. and consists of a 5.5" rifled section with a welded on shroud. It handles like lightning. Link to comment

Faxon have barrels with integrated comps/flash hiders in stock. Just saying, for the cost of the gunsmithing, might as well get a nice light barrel. What's nice about the Faxons are that they are 16" overall and that includes the muzzle devices. https://faxonfirearms.com/faxon-16-tapered-profile-ar15-barrel-9mm-w-integral-slim-flash-hider/ https://faxonfirearms.com/faxon-16-tapered-profile-ar15-barrel-9mm-w-integral-slim-muzzle-brake/ If they had these out when I got an MBX barrel/comp. I probably would have gotten the Faxon instead. Edited May 13, 2020 by MoRivera Link to comment
Bdh821 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) I got one one of these coming once they’re coated. He is still taking orders and shipping within the next few weeks. Also, this upper setup makes you shoot as well as Maxamundi Edited May 13, 2020 by Bdh821 Link to comment
MoRivera Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Those look very cool. Any idea on cost? Link to comment
Bdh821 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 For the barrel/comp pinned welded with matching smoke composites carbon fiber handguard, I believe it’s $500. Link to comment

Yes, I had Rudy at Macon Armory reduce weight on one of my 9mm SBR barrels. Give him a call. https://maconarmory.com/pages/contact-us Link to comment
