I'm looking to start building an upper for my pistol lower and I've settle on making the barrel 11.5". I've looked into the Spikes CHF barrel and BCM LW barrel, but I was hoping to cap the barrel budget at $200 since this will just be a fun range toy. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

ETA: Not looking for a heavy barrel.

I've been looking for a 11.5" budgetish barrel as well, Voodoo makes a medium and lightweight contour thay can be had under $200. I'm waiting for some labor day ales before I make a purchase.

Brownells has DPMS 11.5" chrome lined barrels for $177, Midway has them for $170, but they tend to be higher on shipping

Checked that out, came out to $158 shipped on Midway with coupon OFF20WEL14, not really looking for heavy barrel.

Del-Ton is nice.
If you want a barrel with no gas block (stripped), go here:

If you want a standard front sight tower, then:

Note: You can cut-off the top of the Front Sight tower and have a very nice low profile, yet secure gas block.

I have been extremely happy with my DD 11.5.

Got it from DSG when they were on sale for under $200

That sounds like a steal, cheapest I've found a DD is $260.

Bump I'm looking for a cheap 11.5 as well.

Anyone have experience with the barrel above?

I've heard great things about MAS Defense, I saw they had only one 11.5" offering so I contacted them about possible more variations. They responded saying that in about 30 days they should have out more 11.5" barrels in the M4 contour 1:9 & 1:7 in melonite and hardened steel.

Nice. They mention a price point?

No but judging by the price of all their other barrels I would guess  around $150

I got in on that deal too. GREAT barrel.  Way more accurate than an 11.5 should be.

Have you checked MAS Defense?

I like their 223 wylde or 5.56 barrels.  Not a single problem with the 4 barrels I've built with.

Yes I did, but at this time they only have 1 11.5" offering, they told me they would have 4 new 11.5" variations out in a month of two.

Exactly.
Sionics could be the next Bravo Company.  Every barrel review is 5 star.  The uppers and complete rifles are held in high regard.
Now I want a barrel.
