New Barrel

imo, i think that barrel is ugly and it's by spec ops, go with a stiffi or a j&j kit.

Only kit worth using.

Yes, I'm ignoring the "close thread" notice.  I'm a rebel what can I say.  I rip the tags off of mattresses and take 11 items into the 10 items or less line at the supermarket as well.

thejudge, I use the J&J kit on one of my Autocockers and have been quite pleased with it.  (Especially since the stock barrel let the paint roll right out.)

Curious, are spec ops barrels bad?

Cheers,

Frankly I wouldn't get a SpecOps barrel. Partially because of how awesome my Lapco is () and partially because I really don't want to support that company in any way. Though mostly because of how awesome the Lapco is.

Hiding it is not necessary.  You just have to maintain an innocent expression while saying the following phrases:

"What new barrel?"

"That old thing, I've had it forever."

If that doesn't work change the subject by asking her if she's put on weight.

  My wife works odd ours during the week while I work 3rd Shift.  It is hard to schedule a delivery from online purchasing when she is at her office.  For instance.  I desperately want to buy a J & J barrel for my newly acquired 68 Special, but the only place I can get it from is countrysports.com.  The only way I can think of getting around it, is having it sent to my brother or folks that live an hour away.  I'm screwed.  Or - I won't be if another package with my name shows up on the front step...

Boy, did I get the stink-eye when that 68 Special AND the Ariakon 2.0 ACP landed on the porch a couple of weeks apart from each other.
