My advice: don't overcomplicate it. Keep it simple. People will customize how they want it anyway, why make it more $$ by camo coating or fancy stock.

Any updates on this going into production, and will replacement barrels be offered for those of us that already have a handi rifle?

[rsilvers]

It is expected to ship in March. No, there are no replacement barrels.

H&R says it ain't on the production schedule, no plan to make it is yet formal.

In short, make other arrangements.

In short, check your sources. R Silvers said all along that this was going to be a AAC endeavour much the same as the Micro 7 is. In fact, on 300blktalk.com Silvers indicates a March/2012 delivery date with a 1:7" twist rate for the barrel. This was posted just recently. You may not have been aware of that.

Not trying to start a fight. His post is actually one up from my last, and is from October of last year.

As I said, H&R say it isn't in the works, and AAC's post about the H&R AAC 300 on their site hasn't been updated since August 11th - where they did say they would let us know "if/when this happens."

AAC is partnered with H&R for this, by their own admission, and H&R says it won't be here in March (2012.) H&R might be wrong, but I should think they would know if it were on the manufacturing schedule. I called AAC, they are shut down for SHOT.

At the very latest, we'll know in March.

March.

$359.

Here is how it has evolved. Now it is phosphate rather than blued. It is no sights, and includes a 1913 scope rail.

It looked better the first time .. this just makes it look like you are trying to "cheapen it up" ...

The thread pitch isn't different, the threads just ahead of the barrel shoulder are not relieved. There is a goofy-ass shoulder there, and I think it's bad form to thread that way. Most suppressors, hell, even muzzlebrakes, need the relieved thread pattern.
