Since EAB didn't have the barrel or magazine in stock--I decided to cancel the order and go with a Faxon barrel instead. The Faxon is a lighter contour--and is also 20" instead of 18". Never tried Faxon before--kinda curious how they are. Interestingly, it too has a carbine gas system. The Faxon barrel also has an oddball thread pitch--1/2 x 28--so it took me a while to find a suitable comp--ended up selecting a .375 comp from Rex Silentium with a thread adaptor to fit the barrel muzzle.
