First one had to go back to DD due to a crown blem. The replacement was perfect, but the GB GT retaining pinhole needed reaming (mcmaster reamer). Outstanding CS from RT. Installed onto a LMT flattop with DD RISIII. It is finally done now and very fun to run!

This was the only place that had these barrels that included the pinned gas block from the factory and at a reasonable price. Because of this I was skeptical to be honest, however when they arrived they were absolutely pristine, and even came with a nice note, a pack of ramen and a pocket constitution!
I have since spread the word about this company and have friends that will be shopping here now. Only thing I can say about the Daniel Defense barrels is to be sure you a good set of punches, a Starret concaved taper pin punch and a good bench block meant for this as these pinned taper pins are very tight to get in all the way.
