Have you considered BCM's offerings? They come w/a free Mod 0 comp and $69 gets you one of their excellent bcg's w/a Gunfighter CH: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/AR-15-16-Mid-Length-Group-s/27.htm?searching=Y&sort=1&cat=27&show=100&page=1

PSA. FN CHF barrel, currently on sale, and with free shipping. It will be accurate, reliable, and you can't get a more durable barrel for the price.

Hello, I'm looking to purchase a mid-length upper in 5.56 with a 16" government profile barrel. Its primary use is going to be recreational target shooting with 55gr and M885 ammunition. I'm going to start with iron sights but I may add an optic eventually. I don't foresee shooting 68 or 75 grain bullets with it. There are two options I am looking at. First is a PSA upper with the CHF FN barrel in 1:7 twist. The other option is a Rock River Arms upper with a 1:9 chrome lined lightweight barrel. I'm having trouble figuring which is going to be better for my purposes. My main concerns are accuracy and durability. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Ken Go with the PSA CHF, I've 2 carbine length and their excellent values for the money. I also plan on adding a PSA 16" CHF middy down the road and I already own a BCN 16 CHF version |

I had a RRA 16" lightweight middy that ran flawless. My only complaint was that it was pretty over gassed.
I currently have a BCM pinned 14.5" middy and 11.5 carbine that I absolutely love. BCM delivers quality, solid, mil-spec parts and their custom service is excellent. I've never owned anything by Spikes but have always heard that they turn out quality rifles. |

Thanks for all the suggestions. So I gather the 1:7 twist rate in most of these offerings should serve as well as the 1:9 twist RRA barrel for my intended purpose? It is nice to see so many options in my price range. I've read lots of good things about BCM and that's the direction I'm presently leaning.

With BCMs current pricing it is hard to beat.
I would get one of their Enhanced Light Weight barrels for a multi-use rifle |

Spikes CHF. Spikes CHF barrels come in a hybrid "Optimal" profile with is halfway between Govt profile and Lightweight, giving you rigidity with a lighter weight.

It can stabilize pretty much anything from 50 grains on up*. *Less to do with twist rate and more with bullet construction |

I would also recommend a 1/7 twist barrel. Do you think you will EVER shoot M856 (64gr tracer round)? This is why current mil rifles sport a 1/7 twist, because the tracer bullet is so long. It needs the tighter twist to stabilize it. 1/7 twist, as said, is a very versatile option, and unless you are planning to shoot 40gr V-Max bullets, you should be just fine with a 1/7 twist. As for the other options, I wouldn't hesitate with either a BCM or PSA upper. Whichever is in stock and meets your budget.

I have a PSA middie, and it's an absolute tack driver. The 1:7 twist will stabilize the 77 grain OTM bullet which is becoming more popular these days. Can't argue with PSA's price point.
