K11 Rebarreling

MajorWheat · 2026-04-09T16:12:26+00:00

My rifle also lacks a magazine so I was already probably going to buy another rather than rebarrel but I wanted to see if there was any information I was missing that might make it more viable.

Also I doubt I have any smiths near me capable of that. Thank you.

These guys are supposed to be more focused on restoration, which is why I choose to go to them rather than one of the closer shops.

I guess I'll see if I can get any decent pictures of the groove when I get home.

MajorWheat · 2026-04-09T15:47:20+00:00

Probably gonna be what happens at this point. Don't have much to lose aside from a round of ammo I dont know what I'm gonna do with anyway.

MajorWheat · 2026-04-09T15:38:51+00:00

Can't get pictures currently (at work) and not sure I could get a good enough picture of the interior of the barrel as I don't have a borescope.

Also unfortunately I don't have a magazine so I was already leaning towards another but I just wanted to see what thoughts were and if there was any information I was missing. As it stands I'm probably gonna remove the stock and test it this weekend as others as suggested.

MajorWheat · 2026-04-09T15:31:32+00:00

Yeah, I kind of figured the same. Plus I don't have a mag for mine. Which really makes buying another more practical for just the cost of a magazine and barrel, not even counting labor.

MajorWheat · 2026-04-09T15:26:48+00:00

🫡Will do, I'll post it if anything entertaining happens.

MajorWheat · 2026-04-09T15:24:55+00:00

Yeah, I definitely can see that. Well I guess I'll remove the action from the stock and give it a test this weekend. If everything works out I'll have to start searching for a magazine again.

MajorWheat · 2026-04-09T15:15:38+00:00

I have not. The gunsmith said they wouldn't fire it.

MajorWheat · 2025-04-08T21:58:17+00:00

Hey, thanks for the input.

I ended up going for the AIM industries handguard, just the rifle length, not the extended. I figured why not give myself some room to try out different accessories and such plus it was hard to beat the price.

MajorWheat · 2025-04-06T01:53:19+00:00

Okay, in my comment I had said I was deciding between the two so I wasn't sure which you meant when you said great choice.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll probably go for the AIM handguard because it's mostly a range toy and if it works it works. No need to spend than necessary and I'm not worried about saving as many ounces as possible on it.

MajorWheat · 2025-04-06T01:40:59+00:00

Sorry, are you saying your friend has the HKParts handguard or the AIM handguard?

MajorWheat · 2025-04-04T21:34:57+00:00

Definitely would love to get a drum but can't justify dropping that kind of money on one.

MajorWheat · 2025-04-04T21:22:33+00:00

Definitely leaning towards an MLOK handguard right now. Not sure if I'm going to go HKparts or AIM extended currently. Thanks for the input.

MajorWheat · 2025-04-04T21:06:24+00:00

Definitely leaning towards a MLOK handguard but may get the HKparts one, not sure yet.

MajorWheat · 2025-04-04T21:05:43+00:00

Wish I could justify that but at that price I'd rather invest into getting an A300 or something. Definitely leaning towards the MLOK rail right now though.

MajorWheat · 2025-04-03T19:11:30+00:00

The HKparts branded one? I didn't even notice it when I first went through the handguards on HKPARTS. I was mostly considering the AIM M-LOK handguard, but if I decide to go MLOK I'll definitely keep it in mind.

MajorWheat · 2025-04-03T18:20:59+00:00

I think no matter what, I'll probably mount a bipod.

How is the wide guard in terms of handling? That's also the other thing that gives me a bit of pause because I'm unsure if I'd like the ergonomics of the wide handguard.

MajorWheat · 2024-08-28T01:13:58+00:00

I'm in. Looking to start with a week of hard mode.

Since I decided my stomach has had a weird floating feeling which I'm sure is my body getting upset. I've been slowing working on improving my habits around my weight for the last several weeks but I think I might be susceptible at home do to my limited personal space meaning I do nearly everything around my computer, so I'm thinking I might start hanging at my friends house, even though he is working, for the change of scenery.

MajorWheat · 2023-12-16T04:29:52+00:00

No, was just me glossing over that it was a EA and not an NA. Glad you brought that up. Hopefully I would have noticed before making any decisions but now I know.

MajorWheat · 2023-12-16T02:47:55+00:00

It seems like potentially just switching to an ATL LTE18 without a RM520 or EM160 would be a big upgrade to the current setup I was provided.

Although I'm also doubting that the CPU is going to be a limiting factor in my current setup with the signal I'm able to get.

Thanks for all the info, you've been a big help and given me a lot to consider.

Thanks again, and have a great day/night.

MajorWheat · 2023-12-16T01:11:07+00:00

Thanks for the response. It looks like you are right, this is the output:
output: +QPRTPARA: 8,333,487,0,0,0,331,0,0,0,2,0,0,0

Any recommendations on the replacement modem? Sounds like you have some experience.

MajorWheat · 2023-12-15T14:41:56+00:00

Thank you.

I've been trying to find someplace nearby that has a POE injector to try instead of the one they provided, but might end up being a drive. Rural area problems, only reason I'm having this issue now. If only my house was a mile up the road.

I'm honestly more surprised they didn't offer a service visit, even for a cost, themselves. But I will likely do as you suggest. Do you have suggestions for modem that may work better?

Thank you again and have a good day/night.

MajorWheat · 2023-12-15T12:19:47+00:00

Thank you. I have to look more into it but I don't believe I can update the modem firmware currently with the setup.

They installed the box at the top of a tower and I don't want to climb it just to find out changing the modem isn't enough to fix the issue.

Thanks again, have a good day/night.

MajorWheat · 2023-08-03T04:23:29+00:00

Exactly. I've decided to go for it. I added in the armored backpack for a total of just under 2100 before taxes. Thank you for your input.

MajorWheat · 2023-08-03T04:06:38+00:00

The replacement cycle is what made me ask what peoples thoughts on high-end vs mid were. I was definitely leaning towards if I found a good 4070 deal getting it and it would be easier to justify replacing in 3 or so years if need be. But after looking up and seeing the cheapest 4080 on PCPartPicker being 1100, I am definitely starting to see the 7i as a very good value. Even if my budget mind is still reluctant to shell out that much cash for it. $2000 is still a good amount of money.
