Will you offer a chrome moly barrel option on your rifles and uppers?

All of our 6.8 barrels will be 416 stainless, and we are working toward all of our AR15 barrels eventually being stainless. We will, however entertain doing custom work, and if you have a barrel that you would like us to use, we would be happy tol talk with you about the project.

So If I happen to have ordered a Wilson Combat upper (stripped), and I sent it to you, you'd put it together with a (for example) Tactical Hunter barrel?

Or you'd just send it to me and I could do it as well.

We will either sell you a rifle, a custom upper, or just a barrel. Whatever you want to do, we will do our best to take care of for your needs.

That's good to know. I recently purchased a "Wilson Combat upper" from Brownells this past week, and it came with some, well.... rather disappointing M4 extension feed ramps...In fact, using the 85gr TNT rounds were getting stuck every round fed from the PRI magazines yesterday.

Vmax, Prohunters, and the Accubonds fed fine. Had a few FTF on the Accubonds... but the TNT were setting back in the case at least 2-3mm due to the feed ramps getting stuck. Do you suggest the same modification of the feed ramps with the dremel tool or otherwise?

I would suggest contacting them and letting them have first crack at fixing it......

It's not the feed ramps, it's the ammo. I have an AR Performance upper and it has perfect feed ramps and I have trouble with that ammo. You can try to tweak your lips on your magazines a little. Have them cant the bullet up a little, but I would advise just not using that TNT ammo anymore.

I shot another 7 rounds of TNT yesterday at the range, and fed fine... the 8th was a FTF again.

I've had probably 20 FTF with this ramp and PRI magazines. I'm starting to think that the followers are what's bad. The FTF were with Vmax, Prohunters, Accubonds, and TNTs.... more so with the TNT and the Vmax.

The Vmax left part of the copper bullet scratched... the TNT were all set back into the casings, a good 1-2 mm.

I've got some issues pending, and once those issues are completed, I'll send the upper to WC.

That's good to know. I've got 4 PRI 25 and 1 PRI 10 round. THe 10 round has not had any issues. The 25 rounders, only had 20 rounds loaded. Except for the last set of Accubonds I used, and they had 25 rounds, without a FTF one time.
