Any interest in a SBX group buy?

These are like the Ruger SBX, but a 22lr AR upper.
http://www.tacticalsol.com/tshome/ar22-22lr-conversion

The AR-22 SBX barrel is a 6061-T6 lightweight aluminum threaded end* barrel with a 4140 button rifled steel liner and Hogue® free float forend. The SBX barrel has bore length of 12.25” with a permanently attached shroud for an overall length of 16.5” allowing the user to attach a suppressor without adding length. This gives the user all the advantages of a short barreled rifle without the time consuming and costly SBR paperwork. As with all of our AR-22 conversions, it includes our CNC machined bolt assembly with 416 stainless steel bolt and precision ground tool steel guide rails for strength and smooth, reliable, functionality. In addition, the AR-22 SBX includes a forged charging handle with our tactical latch. Each conversion is shipped with a 10 or 25** round Black Dog Machine magazine.

It allows you to have a suppressor on that doesn't stick way out without the SBR stamp. Like this model below


The barrel is .92 diameter and this is a 50yrd group



The Barrel nut is permanently attached so any rail system would need to be one that attaches to a standard barrel nut.

Its a completed upper, bolt, charging handle and all. The top pic is what it would look like. Price is the best a dealer can give us, I have asked CCF if he could look into it, but others dealers are welcome to look into it.

I like the looks of that thing with the hand guard on the complete rifle pic.

Well, the SBX barrel streets for around $260 so add another hundred on top of that for the receiver, another hundred or so for the BCG....them you've got a rail, soooo....I'd say $550ish?

I would honestly just want the barrel, but it appears they only sell it as a complete upper.

I have found it sold out at $570
A group buy in mid 2011 had it for $520 with one mag after 3 buyers jumped in

Lax you will have to forgive me. Does this have to have a SBR stamp or pin and go. Thats what i have been looking for.

Everybody is going to want their own rails, why not just install your own, its easy as pie. I'm not sure what you mean by the bolt? the OP and description reads

It includes our CNC machined bolt assembly with 416 stainless steel bolt and precision ground tool steel guide rails for strength and smooth, reliable, functionality.

No the shroud brings it to 16" but the barrel "ends" at 12" with threads on it so a can slips into the shroud and screws on. So with a can you hit about 16.5" instead of having a rifle with a 16.5" barrel with 6 inches of can on the end of it.

The OP reads

This gives the user all the advantages of a short barreled rifle without the time consuming and costly SBR paperwork.
