New LAPCO barrels....Nice

[Steelrat]

Seems lapco decided to make 2 part barrels, and will soon make a kit. Though they seem a bit derivative of the ultralights, I rather like them, and Im sure their minimal porting is better suited to the mags.

This pic is straight from the Lapco forum, so I am giving credit where it is due.

Ugly.

They do look nice, but I'm gonna stick with my Dye. How much do those cost anyway?

[laxkid]

yay lapco finally a 2 piece

[Brophog]

I'll stick to one piece barrels, thank you very much.

looks nice, but it also looks like theres a good deal of porting

[boggerman]

I like it, and if it shoots as well as my bigshot and autospirit, I might pick one up. You can never have too many barrels.

[Steelrat]

Actually, except for the muzzle break, there is no more porting than a normal lapco. They just took the normal amount of porting and spiraled it around the barrel.

MSRP is reportedly $120, but I suspect they will sell for a bit less. Pricey, yet, but Lapco makes good stuff.

Looks pretty good, but I'll stick with my CP 2 piece.

[barberjohn]

jeez, 120! i would definately go with an ultralight before that thing, even though lapco does make nice barrels. i think it looks pretty good, but they shouldve tried coming out with a good, yet cheap barrel. i bet they would get some hits with that.

The snap shot is suppose to be a barrel kit form what I have read. So $120 is a good price.

this one looks better

Just what we need, another barrel kit. I think that there is way too much porting.

[Steelrat]

Once again, no there isnt. Think of it this way.
