The Spectre II is a tank and I’ve filled mine up with lead multiple times.

I sent Efile my form 1 last night. Hopefully, mine will get approved fast.

I got a blued charger for a $100 and it has a 10” threaded barrel. I’m putting that into a B-TM stock. The barrel will come to the the end of the stock (really close at least) and look really nice. Since my barrel is threaded, I’ll likely cut the stock back a hair to use my Spectre II. I’m kinda tempted to keep it flush to the stock and maybe use a 1/2” longer thread adapter though. I’m cheap and broke so I might just use my saw and cut the stock down.

That's what silver spray paint is for.

What is the current wait time? I have 6 F1s submitted at the moment.

The stainless 11” I pictured was cut down from a rifle. Only option with a 10” charger barrel is with an extender segment you mention to get past the Samson stock.

You are the test case if you can trim back the Samson stock to a 10” charger length and not lose the barrel band out front. I’m interested to know how that pans out.

I had the thought over the years could I buy a 10” threaded charger barrel with adapter and do the work myself to match the pics I posted, but in the end, I didn’t bother with half throttle since I had the lathe option I killed both barrel and stock to the edge of usable.

Hope you can keep the barrel band if staying with 10. We’ll see..

Ok, so what's it currently? Jan 2 was the beginning of the rush.
You asked Kickstand, but how would he know? Said he filed it the day before you asked; I offered my result just trying to help.

To help answer your question, a friend of mine had (10+) F1 stamps come back within a couple days using an eft instead of prints like me, filed about a week after mine, some took 2+weeks.

saw this on the web dated 2/9

Spectre2 is still my favorite eventhough I know the endcap might have issues with hard use. Bubble burst (strobro) otherwise a great can that cleans great with the dip.

The stock is offered in bull barrel format, right now backordered, but I saw what I have now as the goal.

Side data, pictured below is an 11” that was motivation couple years ago, before I finally got around to mine thanks to Trump’s NFA success last year.

Final pics to wrap up.

Swapped the recoil spring for a lighter Volquartsen also their buffer. Good choice.

Radiused the chop and stained (slightly too dark).

Fire blued the back of the charging handle.

Well, I got my stamp back and here it is:
I’ll have to cut the stock back a hair or add a 1/2” thread extension.

Sorry, kinda a double post. I checked under the Ruger mini-14 section and the Other Firearms section and didn’t see this thread. Nevertheless, I eventually found where it was posted. Also, I added a short video under the Ruger mini-14 section.
