Is the barrel extension part of the barrel or can these be swapped out?

Thanks,

Paul
 
Re: M4 feedramps or no?

While technically not part of the barrel it isn't a part you can just swap out. The gas port is drilled after installation of the barrel extension so that everything lines up.

Anything is possible but I'm not aware of anyone that is willing to do extension swaps.

Gotcha. I've built several lowers but never and upper. I'm considering swapping my barrel out. I need to check my feed ramps.

Thanks,

Paul

If your looking into AR15 barrels.com take a look at their feedback before placing an order.
 
Re: M4 feedramps or no?

Check Rainier for barrels. There is no reason to worry about switching the extension when you can simply buy the whole barrel without messing it up trying to re-work what you have. Look at your upper and see if you have a rifle or M4 upper. Once you know that you can buy a barrel. Most of the uppers I have seen have the M4 feedramps. Let us know what you decide.

I wasn't. I saw the pic in someone's for sale ad. I was looking at White Oak and Compass Lake.

I'll check Rainier.

I just didn't know if they could be swapped. I'll get what it needs. Thanks for the help guys.
