Scott, thanks for the tip on Benchmark Barrels. Short Action Customs did my 510 Whisper barrel and it was ~$1500. I've been debating about their 223 kit. It's certainly tempting but then I've already got what I need in ARs, so maybe down the road.

I you ever have a layover in Anchorage send me a PM and can hit the range just outside of town.

Bob
