2 stamp. I have an irrational hatred of pistol braces.
Not Judging! I am the same hence the pinned can.

It’s my home defense / SHTF setup. I will only shoot it suppressed (Won’t be wearing hearing protection when things go bumb in the night). Run a snake through it for cleaning and she’s good to go. The barrel I chose is Triarc’s Track 2.0 10.5” suppressed only barrel.
For those of us who don't see videos on here what are the didnt go well parts.
Headspace and throat are correct for 5.56; throat and muzzle erosion are good; muzzle threads are concentric. Front sight base properly aligned. Barrel extension is timed properly.
Downside: There's some corrosion in the barrel that goes through the chrome, so it's not likely to be very accurate. Chad says it'll probably meet the milspec 4 MOA standard.
This is going into a "spare parts, truck gun" build, so I'm not too worried about it.

Was this a new barrel?

chino101, thanks for the pics. Let's hope that DutchV's experience was an isolated incident. The rest of Chad's physical inspection was very positive.
Thread revival. Back in stock.

I do not see where it says HBAR and that profile is not what you typically see on an HBAR and definitely not from what I've seen in a Colt HBAR which gives the exception to the AR ban.
From the website:
"This barrel machined from CroMoV Steel, features heavy barrel contour, has a Black Phosphate Finish and includes a Chromium Plated Chamber and Bore (Chrome Lined). "
Note: "features heavy barrel contour" etc.
Sorry, focused on the specifications and the photos only.
I'm skeptical on this though. The back half is HBAR compared to the colt barrel but not the front half in front of the gas block.
