I've also heard that Armalite has the best tolerances on theirs.

They are all the same ecept for Les Baer and Armalite. As you will not get one from Armalite right now give LEs a call but as he makes them and all his stuff inhouse they are not cheap.
I called Les Baer this morning and ordered one. They are in stock and they said they would ship it tomorrow. Price was 28 dollars plus shipping. Here is the catch....per the phone rep they don't have the m4 ramps...the picture on their web site looks like they do. I have seen people machine in their own ramps and they actually do a fair job.

Its very easy to file them especially if your receiver already has them as you are only matching them up. All you have to do is cut them so that you cut down till the end of the extensaion where it meets the receiver ramps is the same size ot very slightloy larger will not hurt. Use a round fiuel or dremel witha conical gridning stone attached. Take a littel them seat the barrel in the reciever and do some more until it matches up. Once you get the first one done the second will be done in 1/4 of the time. CA Kontonics did all of their recievers in house as they used STAG. AFter you get done polish it up with metal polish and a buffer whatever to aa nice mirro shine and you are good to go. 15-30 mins tops if you haven't done it before.

Congrats my man! Did you get it from Les Baer? I called them on Monday and they told me over the phone they didn't have the ramps, so I ordered 2 as I was planning on machining the ramps myself and I figured a back up was in order. Well they came in today and to my surprise they had ramps!
