In a search for a 9mm barrel for my next AR build, I wanted a short bbl (5''-8'') with a Euro threading (13.5-1 LH) because I will be keeping a suppressor on it. With that thread type, the vortex of the bullet spinning through the baffles of the can aid in keeping the can screwed onto the barrel as opposed to the opposite effect of a right hand thread. Thanks to Chad's recommendations, I checked out ADCO Firearms and with a little scrounging around on their site I found that they offer barrels of varying lengths custom threaded to your preference. I got the barrel I wanted (5'') with the threading I wanted shipped within 24 hrs, arriving at my house I five days. Shipping was $6. Through the process, I had several questions answered by Steve at ADCO (all of which were answered in less that 24 hrs). Their customer service was the best I've ever experienced from any on-line company. I hope to do more business with these folks in the future.
