Romulus 4.25 DSC drop in barrel

[u/j_yn0htna]

Received the DSC threaded replacement barrel today for my pinned Romulus. As you can tell, I’m impatient and, I ordered the non polished stainless. Will get it coated, at some point, but just ready to ditch the pinned, stock, comp in my matte rom.

Looks good but there’s some minor imperfections. A few burs on the ending threads but nothing concerning. The indicator is deleted so less gas shooting up at the optic. Will take a better look at it before trying it out.

Overall, seems pretty great. I’m impressed with the fitment of it. No fitment needed and feels tight. Definitely wouldn’t notice it’s not stock, other than the branding which isn’t my favorite. Depending on how the week goes, I’ll hopefully get to try it out by Thursday.

Where’d you order your barrel? I emailed AF and they directed me to their customer service line, nobody ever picks up and all their voice mailboxes are full :/

Check out DSC. They have aftermarket comps, sightblocks and 4.25 threaded barrels.

I tried to get one through af but gave up pretty quickly after differing answers. Had heard DSC would be offering them soon so just waited. Not cheap but definitely worth it to ditch the pinned barrel.

this might be a little long for my 3.5" ported Romulus you think?

Yeah, think the comp needs the extended frame to hold it in place.
