 Where to buy 14.5" barrel pinned to 16"

I'm looking to buy a 14.5" barrel already pinned to 16" with a muzzle device. I've scoured what seem to be all of the major parts dealers on the internet and I can't find any barrels for sale that are already pinned and ready to go. I realize that I can buy a 14.5" barrel and have it shipped to someplace like ADCO, but I'd rather cut out the middle man and purchase a finished product straight to my door. Is there anyplace that sells a barrel like this?

BCM or get the barrel you want and send it to ADCO to be pinned.

There are others, but these are the two routes I've taken.

Thanks for the reply. Will BCM pin a barrel in-house? I see the option for pinning a complete upper, but I don't want a complete upper. Just a barrel.

I don't think you'll be able to fit a barrel nut over the muzzle accessory after it's pinned.

Nor will you be able to remove the FSB. This is why you (the vendor) slide the barrel nut over the barrel before you install the FSB and pin the muzzle device.

ETA: I did find that CMMG sells them this way. Anybody know of any others?

YHM sellls them pinned from the factory also .... you have to use a 2 piece gas block or the YHM clamp on flip up sight with these.

Sweet, thanks for the input guys. I just impulse-bought a DD rail on the EE for a different build so my discretionary funds are now gone, but now I know where to look when I get some cash again.
