I''m in the process of building an AR.

I want the barrel to be 16" long, govt profile or heavy, with midlength gas system. Probably have a threaded muzzle so I can put a suppressor on it...

So what are my best choices?

ETA: I also dont want it to have an FSB. I just plan on putting fold up front site on the rail.

Most just go with whoever charges the most.

I don't believe the more expensive = better quality.

Krieger barrels are about the best you can find. I don't say that just because my son works there making barrels.

Our last name happens to be Douglas, but we're not related to that barrel maker family.
