Short barrel life! Dang, why didn't I think of that?

The serialized part is the shroud, so I suppose SWS could machine another barrel without going through the Federales, but I don't know. I'll cross that bridge when the time comes. Another option may be reboring the barrel, but that might be a long shot. A safer option would've been .223 or 6mm ARC, but then again, you only live once.

I don't know how accurate the barrel is yet, but to my ear, it's every bit as quiet as my Banish 223 suppressor on my Tikka .223. That sucker is shockingly quiet.

That will be a nice game slayer. By the way, you live in the most epic hunting destination in the known universe. I loved hunting NZ's South Island.
