Too soon to ask for integrally suppressed barrels?
14.5” rifling.
20” overall length.
Tikka prefit of course.
Truck axle contour OD.

12.5” if it plays nice .
I’m just tired of moving cans and the 4” prototype looked like something I could find a home for.

It’ll keep it about the same as port pop.

How much would be willing to spend on a barrel that would last say, 1200 rounds (something like 6.5 PRC) that was integrally suppressed? Because that's going to be an EXPENSIVE barrel, that is expendable when its burnt out.

Good question.
I think the market would support something between $1.5k to $2k.

Right now one could easily spend that much on a big name barrel, chambering work, and then the suppressor and regulatory fees.

Obviously this would need to be a quality product that would stand on its own merits when compared to a separate barrel and suppressor. But providing a streamlined product with good balance, suppression, and accuracy would absolutely have a market.

I don’t see this barrel being for the high volume practice rifle. But a 6creed barrel (or 6um or whatever) that gets 2-3 hundred shots per season for the next 5-10 years would 100% be worth it to me.

The high volume practice rifle, the class rifle, the competition rifle; these would all be better served by treating the barrel like a consumable wear item.
But there are rifles that get used only during hunting seasons. These rifles would be perfect for an integrally suppressed barrel.

Also, a 4” reaper with reflex hub in 6mm would be awesome, probably use that instead of an OG6/22

I hope this can happens.

And don't forget once it is burned out you must either keep in in a safe, or cut it in half (long ways) with a cutting torch, or shred it, then maintain proof of appropriate distruction.

I think the true market for something like that is very small, and best left to a boutique gun company like Gunwerks or custom makers.

I agree that it would need to be a longer barrel life item. Something like a 20” total length .223. I like the idea of an integrated suppressor, but I am not sure it is the most practical thing yet.

The cost and headache of NFA tax stamps have perverted our thinking for decades -- let's start over:

Something OPS INC (ish) that paired with milled to (open source) spec collared barrels would offer significant price/performance improvements over anything we can currently purchase.

Stretch that concept to 2-3x the reflex length, and the middle portion of the can (covering 6-12" of barrel) could be a titanium tube -- removable and replaceable. Let the barrel makers make barrels. Figure out the best way to quiet them and sell that.

What benefits/differences are there in a reaper vs a reaper with a reflex.
I have a reaper waiting to ship and im not familiar with the reflex addition.
