350 legend shoe drops

mac66, CMMG has the barrels and uppers. I was going to go that route, but the ranch rifle was cheaper than an upper. Bob!

I bought a 450BM barrel last fall for $70, kinda waiting for a similar deal on a 350L barrel since I have all the rest of the upper parts to build one. It'll probably take another year for sub $100 bbls to get into the pipeline, but I'm in no hurry.

Well, Ruger, you have made me sad.
You didn't offer the American Ranch carbine in .350 on the left-hand action.
I am buying a Savage Axis.
Which kinda sucks, because I think the American Ranch Rifle is the better gun.

I have to quote myself... Bear Creak Arsenal (who I bought my 450 bbl from) now has* 350L barrels for $75. My 450 build upper will shoot MOA. Hopefully so will the 350L. The good thing about the 350L in an AR is that you can use a regular AR bolt/carrier and magazine. Even without having parts on hand you should be able to build an upper for less than $300. Probably less than $200 if you already have a bolt/carrier.

*had them in a couple days ago when I first checked, now out of stock

Those $100+ M lok forends add some to the project. Last weekend I passed on 2 Nitrite BCG's for $100 from Surplus Arms and Ammo with free shipping, dropped the ball on that one. Bob!!

There are $40 M lok handguards available. I have one on my 450. Works fine. But while thinking about it you would also need a 350 flash hider/muzzle comp for the AR bbl. That would add to the cost.

Fyi, Deltateamtactical.com has 350L uppers for $165-194. Doesn't include bolt/carrier and assembly is $15 extra.
