Had a chance to chat with the Sionics folks at SAR show. Nice folks and like their rifles. My buddy just let me know they have a dissy barrel for sale now. Question, does it come with a stock barrel nut etc. or would I have to unpin FSB to install. The reason I ask as I tried taking pins out before and they were a bitch. Thank you!
I believe that the website shows the actual configuration. These are currently configured with no barrel nut, a low profile gas block and the FSB. The current plan is to have everything prepped and allow for the user to knock the pins into place. We can also add a barrel nut and slip ring assy. I will be talking about this on Monday. We will also allow you to send a rail to us for installation.
Sonics keeps improving their offering. It’s good to see. We ran Marks lower the other day, worked just fine of course. I wouldn’t mind having a Sionics in the stable.
To get a nice, long sight radius, but keep the dwell time for the gas system. It’s optimal for fixed front sight shooters who want a gun shorter than the full length rifle.
