FN FiveseveN Forums - Group Buy for Jarvis Threaded barrel for Five SeveN: "

I hope you guys get a better price break than I did. I called Bill and spoke to him for a good fifteen minutes. I bought a barrel from him a few years ago for my HK and I love it.

I saw this thread and was interested in the group buy. I was worried Bill did not reply, so I called him and politely asked him about the buy and what kind of a price break I would be getting. Bill had to take a few minutes to gather his notes regarding the group buy.

Bill told me that he did receive an e-mail reagrding the barrels and he put some thought to how much of a break he could give. Bill told me the 5.7 barrel actually consists of five parts that he would have to manufacture. Bill makes other barrels that do not require this much parts and labor. I'm sure he could have discounted prices on some of those barrels.

I told Bill there were others interested in his barrels and members of this board intended to buy a batch of his barrels. Bill told me that he could not give a price break or a break significant enough to join in the buy. He said the group buy would have to a very large order to reflect a break.

I'm sure if the military or a large L.E. agency approached Bill and requested a large amount of barrels, Bill could lower the price but he would have to hire more people to assist him with the build. He would have to re-direct his staff to work on the 5.7 barrels specifically.

Suppose the military/government wanted 300 barrels and he sold them at $220.00 each. Bill would make some extra barrels/parts in case there were any repair/warranty issues. In this case, lets say there are enough parts to make fifty extra barrels. The government contract goes off without a hitch and there are fifty barrels left plus some springs and other parts. A"

Hi,

I've been looking for a factory/custom barrel for the FN Five-seveN (IOM or USG model) and Kel from Gemtech recently posted the following at http://www.subguns.com/boards/mgmsgarchive.cgi?noframes;read=433098 I am _very_ interested in this option, since the others appear to be infeasable.

Gemtech partnered up with Jarvis (www.jarvis-custom.com) to do a run of 5.7x28 pistol barrels, done exactly like the factory ones (and I do mean "ones", as apparently we've got one of the, like, half-dozen or so real ones in the country...).

The barrel job took a backseat for some other priorities we had late last year, but Bill Jarvis recently told me they should have the barrels done right after SHOT Show.

Suggestion: Call Jarvis, get on a wait list if he's running one. There's
not going to be a ton of them, it's very possibly a one-time run unless demand is suprising.

Extended barrel for FN 5.7 (Posted By: Claude Raines Date: 10/19/04 19:24)

The standard factory mfg extended barrel for the 5.7 has a metric thread that measures up at M10 x 1.0 RH. I currently have two of them for both of my pitols ( 1 x Tool Room Prototype with a three digit serial # and 1 x full production version with a ten digit number)

I don't think that FN makes a barrel with the 1/2 x 28 TPI thread.
As far as it goes I think it would be a job for a barrel maker but it would be an absolute nightmare to make due to the barrel design.

My suggestion would be to buy a threaded barrel from an FN dealer and fit it up with an adapter to suit the can.

The only other problem I can see you having is getting function with a can.
They only like relatively light weight cans.
