I know their barrels are worth the wait i have a 6.5pcc from them and it shoots great.
I am expecting great things from this barrel too.
i now have everything for the build but a bcg and with the prices people are trying to get out of them i think i will just swap one with one of my other ar's seeing as this is an upper only build and i will be using one of my other lowers.

Ordered my 20 pr on 10/10/12... Still waiting. Was filled with false hope that it was a week out on 1/17/13. It's now 2/13 and still no 20 pr barrel. I did get a 6x45 barrel from the Black Friday deal over 3 weeks ago but still haven't got to shoot it yet thanks to no gas block! Sincerely hope it is worth the wait as my .223 is just so boring! ;D

Yes we are but it will be worth the wait I am confident of that.
now when the panic buying goes down and stuff is available again i will try to find a reasonable lower till then it will just have to share. lol

Got an update on mine. Fluting machine is down... If you have ordered a 20 pr at the end of 2012 and didn't get it fluted you should be receiving it shortly! Mine will hopefully be here in a week and a half. Now we'll have to see where we are with those micro adjustable gas blocks from BTE!

Thank you for the update, i didn't get fluting on my 2 barrels I am hoping for it to be here between the 2nd and 3rd week of march that would make it 8-10 weeks. Got an update on mine.

I believe I'm gonna have to get me one of these. Sounds like a flat shooter for sure? Now if I survive tax time, I'll have to order me one. You folks keep us with pictures and reports.

Well we are at 9 weeks and counting, was told 8-10 when ordered but i got a feeling if it will be much longer. won't be surprised to see it go past 12, i hope not but not much a guy can do.
