I’ve been thinking of making my own 204 ruger barrel for my AR’s, I have the lathe, but only do bolt work right now.


I get my barrel extensions from Brownells. This one is a Fail Zero extension (about $25) but I have had really good results with the uncoated steel extension Brownells sells for ~$18.

I don't have a favorite source for bolts, usually just shopping around for whatever fits my needs.

That 204 Ruger barrel would go pretty much identically to this 20 Tac. I highly recommend the blanks from True Sporting Arms (that is BHW's retail outlet); they had this 1.25"x24" 20 cal 1:10 blank on sale for well under a Benjamin even after shipping, although if you pay full price they are fairly expensive. This is one of the nicest machining barrel blanks I've worked with though, it makes the machine work a real pleasure.
