This may be a stupid question but this is my first AR build in all these years I've been into AR's. I'm thinking of picking up a Spikes 11.5" 1/8 twist LE barrel and before I do so would like to know if it's drilled for a gas block with roll pins or only a clamp on gas block? I'm not set up with a drill press or mill so that would be a show stopper for me. Thanks!

LE barrels are all 1:7 twist, if they are stripped they are not drilled for anything. Only barrel assemblies w/front sights are drilled and pinned.

Speaking of barrels...any idea when LW 18" will be available again?

Thanks for the heads up. I was going off of a retailers product description and don't know much about your product line.
