You could get them to ship to your FFL in the US then export on your DSP83 with your other parts.

Great post - nice build!

Nicely done

Much trouble getting a barrel with no gas hole?

I see you checking headspace, but not chamber cutting.
Was this already done?

Yes, much trouble. The majority of US barrel makers I contacted weren't interested in taking one off the line before it was ported even though it meant less work for them. Krieger were one of the very few I found who were happy to do this. I did try UK makers eg. Border, but they said they only supply blanks. I needed a drop in barrel ready to go.
