Tor from OOW had both an A6 bearing and shroud at the last Indy 1500

I talked to Tor last week. I understand they are out of bearings, but I didn't think to ask if they had A6 jackets still. If not, Ordnance Research has repro A6 jackets that are indistinguishable. http://www.ordnanceresearch.com/Default.asp?c=131354

I ordered two more jackets when they called me(OOW).

World turned upside down-I have the bipods, and now the other parts are getting hard to find

Will I need to get a different barrel?? Mine is a a4 set up .308 cal,,,I keep getting deeper and deeper into this! $85 is not too bad for repro shroud.

The A4 barrel will fit as the bearing surfaces are the same, but it is much heavier. That might create problems with cycling in conjunction with the A6 style booster. I have not tried mixing the parts that way, but I probably should. Perhaps someone here has done that and could chime in.

A6 barrels are out there, but more expensive than A4 ones. Figure $100-$150 and they will be in 30-06. If you want to keep your gun in 308, you could have an A4 barrel turned down to A6 dimensions. I think there have been 308 barrels in A6 configuration, but I have never seen one. Don't know if they were commercially made.
