From Australia??? I thought you were getting the one from Barrel Depot in Canada?? I had first ordered the one from australia but it is nothing compared to te one from Barrel depot. Trust me on this one. The difference is like day and night.
ok ok sheesh, i'm trusting you on this one, just ordered the barrel depot one.
cheers
One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.

Japp, trust me. Take a look at my LAV III. you'll see. The one from Barrel is of machine aluminum. The one from Australia is cast. Not very nice. Maybe they've changed but I doubt it.

From the pics it does look like a nicer product. the one from Aus. is brass made from a lost wax type of casting, lots of clean up.
Curious, whats a Japp?

I concur....the Barrel Depot barrel is very nice....make sure you order the fluted one...they make both the fluted and non-fluted 25 mm barrels.
