Hi. Noob here. ;D
Is there an up-charge for Custom Chamberings in AR-15 barrels?
I am specifically interested in the 243 LBC (didn't see it in The Store).
I see you don't offer barrel/bolt combo packages.
Can I send you a bolt to lap to a custom-ordered barrel? Cost?
Thanks!

Thanks! -oldsev Black Hole does charge $50.00 extra for chambering all of it's wildcat chamberings except the 6X45. The answer to your second question is, yes they will do a chamber using your bolt. However since this is a wildcat and you are going to be making you own brass, headspace is really a matter of how long or short do you make the brass. You will need to determine which bolt configuration you have. There are 2 different bolts that will work. When you make your order just specify which bolt you are going to use . Type one is the 7.62X39 and original bolt. It has the bolt face recessed .125 Type two is the AA bolt. The bolt face on it is .135 deep |

Ritch, which bolt do you think is better for the 243 LBC, type 1 or type 2?
Also what is an AA bolt? Does it stand for Alexander Arms?

This is a 7.62X39 standard bolt. The type 2 is an Alexander Arms mistake. It really does nothing more than make everything confusing for the customer. I think its another way Bill Alexander is trying to kill a great cartridge. |

Ritch
Thank you for your response. I have been around AR's for 40 years, but I am just a novice, and still trying to learn. I have been reading some of the posts here on BHW since November, and from what I have read, I value your's and Gregs knowledge and experience and appreciate your sharing it.
I have been looking at the custom calibers and wondering what they might cost. A $50 up charge for the custom chambering sounds very reasonable and tempting. How does the 243 LBC function reliability wise. What is your opinion on a 243 LBC in a 16" mid length light profile for coyotes in the south east, where most shots are under 100 yards?
