I'll take one. I'm on a several month wait-list for a 16" that I was going to cut down and P&W. That will be a PITA; as I don't really have machine tools for all that. I'd much rather a dedicated 14.x from you. If it comes pre-welded with a brake, even better - but not a hard requirement.
Requests and suggestions (if you are taking them)
1) Please keep the profile light. This is a stiffer/shorter barrel selected by those focusing on handyness as top priority. (forgive if that comes across as preachy)
2) If you don't have a pre-installed muzzle device, then please at least cut a channel running along the bottom of the threads, for the pin to drop into (drilling on malonite is no fun!)
3) If you do integrate a brake (not a requirement, but would be nice) - small and light is my request again. Most brakes are oversized. My intent was to run a BCM Gunfighter MOd 0 version; which I like as the small dimensions of an A2; looks like an A2, but the internal baffle/cone at the end acts as a mild brake. It notably reduces recoil pretty well, and does so without the unpleasant blast most brakes have. I have one on a 16" 5.56 now, and it's the only design I'll buy again as a general purpose muzzle device; if given the choice. They make a 7.62 version as well, but if you can home-make one on the same principle with a 6.5mm hole as part of a 6.5 Grendel 14.7 P&W; I would be all over that.
4) Bonus points if you can figure out how to do that at a smaller diameter than the barrel nut and gas-block. (which people do - no big deal there).
5) I get first dibs and will provide test data
