Thread: ar15 suitable match grade barrels 22inch or 26inch Ssteel.

Hi,

What alternatives are these in NZ to get a match grade heavy profile barrel for an AR15 from Kreiger, Shilen or Lilja? in a longer length than std?

Thanks but it looks like a lot of machineing would be need to make it AR15, but I will ask.

Nothing wrong with the complete Stag upper.

I have all the bits except the barrel and foreend and really I'd rather spend on a known match grade quality SS barrel. Mind you my stag model 4 will do under 3/4moa which is very good for a service quality barrel.

Hi, yeah I know its very possible but the idea is to keep costs contained a bit if I can. I have actually asked for 2 quotes for a US made blank (Shilen or Lilja) work. As I want such a long barrel I may have no option.

Order this from Brownells then.

You will have to pay the $250 US export fee though, so may as well get other parts to make it worthwhile.

Good luck getting a permit if this is an A-cat part,
you will need one to export from the US, but cant get one for A-cat parts

No you don't. You do not require an import permit for a barrel for an A Cat rifle, even an AR.

You also don't need an import permit for the US export permit. A signed letter attesting to the fact that an import permit is not required is acceptable by the US Government.

If you did want to get an import permit to import an AR upper and lower receiver for an A Cat AR build, you can apply and will receive an import permit. You could certainly add that to the order, to make the export permit more worthwhile.

I know you dont,
Have you had success with getting a signed letter? and brownells accepting it?

Yes. Several times.

I am after a 20" HBar, if others were interested you could get a couple to bring down the import permit/shipping cost.
