Ruger hammer forged barrels

Thanks all for your info. Since I had already acquired a 16" bull barrel barrel I reckon CPC is my next consideration. Read that they will thread receiver and barrel and make it rock solid and straight. All sounds great to me. Thanks again

The only problem with the 16" barrel is that you cannot have the chamber set back without creating an SBR.

Yup you're right! To make it possible I would have to have a brake pinned and welded to add some length to give me some maneuvering room.

Unless you thread it, and weld on a flash hider. That is a legal solution. Done with countless AR-15 14.5" barrels.

After the holidays I will be looking to do this. Right now I just ordered my third PMACA chassis. First two in black anodized and the third now being cerakoted in FDE.

They don't have to be "welded" on, there are other methods that meet the requirement of being "permanently" attached.

Do you mean cross pinned? Welding a muzzle brake/flash suppressor all the way around certainly is one way. The other involves cross pinning and welding over the pins. The purpose is to ensure that the pins can't be removed. Is there another"legal" method?

Wow great discussion and info. Thanks for all the input. Right now the barrel measures out to 16 1/4" muzzle to breach. Not much to play with.
