Which barrel would be the best option for 3gun...For someone who has never done 3 gun before (or competed at all, and is kind of a crappy shot), but wants to?

Face up, make your stand, and realize you're living in the golden years.

Just received my 20" Stealth barrel + some other unexpected goodies very quickly after ordering.
Cannot wait to put together my new AR-15 and give the MOA challenge a go. To all at Larue I thank you for such great customer service and the quality speaks louder than words on all of your dedication to being the best. You have a new loyal customer here. |

I have a DDv5LW that's 16" already. That would make a 3rd 16" bbl that I would have, probably the nicest 16" barrel for sure though. |

My 20" Stealth arrived today... don't quite have all the parts yet, but I can get the upper together and shoot it before I build the lower.
I suppose the AR-15 MOA-ALL-DAY target in the box was a gentle nudge, so I'll see about holding off on coffee tomorrow morning. |

Just got my new 12" stealth put together in a new upper, going to try it out tomorrow. Think I may buy another 12" to have cut to 10.3" and a 16" for future builds.

Just swapped out my BCM standard midlength barrel for a 16" stealth.
Very excited to try it out tomorrow. Now I've got to decide if I want to go with the PredAR barrel at a supposed 1#8oz or a BCM ELW at 1#6oz for my lightweight build I have a feeling my results tomorrow are going to have me ignoring that 2 ounce difference. |

My wife said we need more Dillo dust, so I had no choice but to order a 14.5" stealth w/m4 cuts .

Any idea on when the sale ends? (Looks around for things to sell)

Maybe a stupid question, but are the Stealth barrels FSB pinnable? Thinking of picking up 20" and building a NM style upper, but if they are surface hardened, it may be hard finding someone who can pin it.

Anyone know the weights for the Stealth barrels? Looking for the weights for the 16" & 18".

Waiting on parts to come back from being cerakoted to complete my build. But I look at my 16" Stealth barrel everyday and go from 6 to midnight. Insane deal for a barrel guaranteed to be accurate and live 100k rounds. Thanks Mark and gang! I'll post up some pics to win the MOA challenge when it's done..

Huh...very strange. I only wiped it lightly with some Hoppe's solvent on a patch after I noticed what looked like carbon on my fingers as I was taking it out of the bag. I wouldn't think that properly applied paint would come off so easily... I'll give them a call on Monday and see what they say. |

So I finally bit the bullet and put in a order this past Saturday for a 16" Stealth. Anybody know what the wait times are like for these? Hopefully not as long as my MBT.

And maybe a 16" Stealth for an idea I have. |

Just need a quality barrel so I can cerakote another rig in some funky Kryptek pattern. |
