Started a new thread to update everyone on progress.

I am diligently working on the barrels and about 1/3rd are sent.
I am finishing up 20+ this week to ship next week.

The delays have been from how busy I am with my main business JetComps.com (if you want to look) but mostly due to dealing with my wife's health issues. She's been in and out of the hospital 7 times this year so far. Hopefully stabilized now but time will tell.

I have not forgotten anyone and if you want to cancel I understand and that's fine just email me at: barrelxchange@aol.com and I'll send a refund.

Anyone that ordered a mix of plain and ported barrels will be in the final batch I make. The porting takes a lot of time to do and clean up burrs.

Thank you

Troy

why do people want a ported UZI barrel?

it's a 9 pound gun that shoots a medium-powered pistol cartridge

I'm not playing the he-man here, just wondering if it does anything noticeable

I received the two barrels that I ordered. They look great and literally have the most highly polished chambers that I've ever seen.

Do a mag dump with a micro or closed bolt mini and you will appreciate porting more than you ever imagined.

Troy, take care of your wife and the main business. In the NFA game we are used to waiting. I really appreciate what you do for the FA community and wish you and your wife the best.

I shot the barrel I purchased in my FA Mini Uzi yesterday. It ran 100% without issue and worked great with my suppressor. I couldn't be happier.

Quick thank you to Troy at barrelexchange! I received my two new SMG mini barrels a while back... they're mazing and run flawlessly. We're very fortunate to have members here like him who support our small NFA niche community with quality products like replacement barrels and heavy bolts that would otherwise be very difficult to come across!

The last of the run is going out in the next 10 days, (if my wife can stay out of the hospital.)

Thank you all for waiting.
I'll be taking a break from making anything for a few months before starting the next project but do have a bunch of parts to sell off from a friends estate.
I'll get those posted by the end of the month.

Troy
