    Never know I might mess around and pick one up myself after I look at it
    From what I can tell, it seems really well made. But obviously without shooting it I can only tell so much. We will have to see its wear patterns over the first 500 rounds or so. I'm just really hoping the threads are good. What options are there if the threads are too far off to avoid strikes?

    To my knowledge, a machinist just has to mill and rethread..However there could be a better option out there I don’t know about..I do have a machinist local that is professional and has done huge jobs for plenty of my friends. Barrel cuts, rethreading, pin & welding, bluing, etc,..Guy is absolutely fantastic!

    Or worst case you’re gonna buy a Wolverine like me to deal with the blasphemy of concentricity

    I am sitting on this Ace 5.45 though. I really wish ammo wasn’t the way it is but oh well. I’m thinking I’ll move this one along for something else tbh.
    ACEs are great, but I get it if you're not sitting on a ton of 5.45. It'll never be what it was, but I'm holding out hope we get something, either domestic or from another country. If it floats around the same as 5.56 or 7.62x39 prices I wouldn't complain, I like shooting it a lot. But ammo prices are crap across the board for the most part so whatever.
