    Hodge is a bit spendy and I think they only go down to 12.5 but their barrels are supposed to be designed around heavy suppressed use with hot ammo

    SOLGW would be another I’d consider along with BCM…I don’t think FN makes one that short for commercial sales

    Same crap everyone else got
    I've been happy with my 11.5 ballistic advantage barrel. Just a budget minded option for you that isn't bottom tier but also no top operator level either. They are 4150 chrome moly with a .073 gas port size so it shouldn't be super over gassed. For the $120 you will spend on them, you could probably buy 2 that will last you many many years.

    Damn that’s a pretty good deal and I’d prefer it with no fcg so I could get what I wanted instead

    Yeah. I run a drop-in triggers on all mine, I also will have no use for the grip(I run Magpul K2+), or safety(run Elftmann), but it was a good deal either way as the lower is normally like $175ish($154 blem) by itself.

    They also had the EPC-9 lower build kit for $149 :santa2: If I didn't have an extra lower laying around, I would have bought it just cause.....but no reason to have 3 EPC-9's.....especially when the EPC-10 is set to come out this year :rofl:

    I have a PCC already although an EPC 9 would be a nice addition. It’s tax time and Christmas coming so this was about as much as I’m willing to spend currently. I’ll move on finishing the lower and progress from there after Christmas

    I'm in the same boat. I will have to set the M5 aside for a while. I just couldn't pass up the deal :rofl:

    The FDE kit has a non adjustable buffer assembly. I think I may like this on this rifle. I did see Magpul is coming out with a lighter version of the PRS stock early next year.

    I haven't even gone down that rabbit hole yet :rofl: This one will have to sit around for a while. I have the 300BLK and possibly the other EPC-9 sitting in front of it. Although, I may put the AR10 behind the 300 since I do have a finished EPC-9......I just need to win the lotto :rofl: :rofl:

    The PRS lite. I'm waiting for that damn thing to be released to use on my M5 build. Went from summer-fall of 2021 now showing early 2022 release date
