Any of you guys know who might be able to make twista lock cetner feed barrels. I plan to check with Doc but i get the feeling he has other stuff on his plate. Any AO machinists up to the task?

You can have R/L barrels machined to fit, iirc.

I modded a bunch of my twist locks to center feed with an 1/8" ball nose end mill. Really easy to do.
Use some blue Dykem to color up the area, twist it a few times to mark up the Dykem, look down through the feed neck to see where you want it to stop.
Even a cordless drill holding the ball nose end mill works great. Just hit it a little and try to see if it stops. If not secure enough for you, hit it a little more.
You're done. I did a few of my barrels this way and it works great.

Good luck finding CF Twistlocks.

My teamamte has a brand new DYE Boomstick center feed barrel.
If you're interested I'll dig up his e-mail. Won't be cheap but it's super rare at this point.

I have one of the Dye Boomstick CF barrels also. Didn't realize they were semi-collectable.
