I believe I jumbled my words, what I meant to say with the "K" Barrels is that they will be the standard diameter, like factory oem rather than the larger diameter like these with flutes.  I'm just going to have them short with the integrated 3 lug and try to make them as cost effective as possible










Expensive, but nice. Won't work for me, though, as I'm SBRing a Scorpion Carbine. Decided to go with an HBI free-float handguard so I can remove it and attache my 3-Lug to the end of the barrel. Don't need the barrel nut any more, either. I'd say my new handguard, plus a CZ pistol length barrel threaded in 1/2 x 28 will come in near the price of that fluted barrel, plus I never need to worry about a barrel nut again

Why wouldn't it work for you? You could just leave the barrel nut off.

Thanks for posting the pics so quickly.  (Although I think you may have quoted the wrong reply) So how can I tell if I have a GenI or Gen II model and will your barrels only fot the Gen II?

well I seen you were the author of both so didn't think it would matter as long as the info was there :)

There is supposedly a trunion design change somewhere along the road, I have not seen it but supposedly it exists.  From what I understand if you try to use a gen 2 in a gen 1 then there could potentially be an interference issue that would require some fitting, whether that is true or not I do not know, just what I have been told.

I think the gen2 is reference to every evo produced and sold in 2016 and thereafter.

Nice pics! I like the looks of the liberty mystic on the trilug

InLeadWeTrust, are you planning on doing a standard diameter style, integrated 3-lug pistol length barrel to go along with your "in the works" standard diameter, integrated 3-lug K length barrel? What crown is on your current fluted pistol length barrel? Thanks

I have a Picture of My Friend that has the New Barrel installed on His Evo Pistol ,, the Barrel end is about 2 inches in front of the handguard ,, their barrel nut is clear of the front of the handguard , so you do Not have to have a special socket or Tool ..

I would like to see that picture, I was thinking that with the 5.3" barrel he mentions that a free float handguard would be the only way to go. I didn't know we could still retain a barrel nut and factory handguard.

Thank you.  Testing went really well today and they are now listed on the site for sale.  I also got to run the CZ75D Compact on the steel at 50 yards and it was lights out.

Looks great ILWT, wish these would of been around three months ago. Now to snag one of your MPX K barrels, only thing holding me back is that price!

Unfortunately we most likely will not be,  The three lug makes it impossible to slide a stock hand guard nut and spacer over it which is one of the reasons on our 8 15/16" barrels we went bigger diameter, custom threads for the hand guard nut, custom spacer and custom hand guard nut.  There is simply not a good way to do it, but thank you for the request

This barrel okay to use with CZ carbine length handguards?

I do not think they will work with any unmodified cz hand guard, I have only used them with "free floats".  There is not a way to mount the barrel nuts on these barrels.
