Your Autococker barrels cost just a little more ($20) to have a 16" barrel. What's the longest twistlock barrel I could get and how much extra would it cost?[Lori----->] a 16” will cost you $20.00 more

Do I have the same choices for dual/single spiral venting and gloss/matte black or nickel/nickel dust finish?[Lori----->] Yes you do.
Wait, does this mean left feed will not be available? Because I have a hopper right powerfeed, which is a left feed marker...

I might have to call the shop tomorrow and see whats up

Didn't see that before I called, sorry

I cancelled my order

They're not making them for left feeds/hopper right powerfeeds. I'd have to send in my mag to get it "custom fit", with custom work running $80/hr

There's no way I can afford that, sorry guys. I hate to slow everyone else's barrels down, but I have no use for a barrel that doesn't fit my mag and costs upwards of $60 a pop.

I don't see why they can't just have the notch for the twist lock pin turn to the left instead of the right, but whatever.


I am majorly bummed right now. On top of that I now have had my credit card # and expiration date stolen, so I have to wait for a new card before I can order some cocker threaded PPS barrels for my noxx55 adapter.

This blows

That's really stupid...

I used to dislike my hopper left powerfeed, but it just made it possible for me to get a twistlock Brass. Awesome.

No No man call em back and put you order in, I just stoped by today and gave them a barrel with a T grove so we can use it for left and right feed. The only guys that would have to send in a body would be the one who want a center feed barrel.

I think Lori thought I had a custom left feed body that I would need to send in for a barrel, but it's just a standard feed left.

Hopefully with the "T" groove, they will be L/R twistlock.

I got sidetracked yesterday (found out that my new house has radon at 5.9) so I hope to place my order today.

Anybody a radon mitigation expert? Please PM me, I could use some education.

She was thinking about asking someone to send in a center feed gun to help make the grove. If you can, maybe you could send in your stock barrel so that they could cut the L grove right for that center feed. Give her a call and see if that would help. I know i would hate it if the L grove was cut wrong.
