I don't think so. Compass Lake sells a drop in Service Rifle barrel, and can certainly make anything you want, and do it as well or better than anyone else.
I'd have Bartlein or Compass Lake build you what you want. You already know it won't be cheap... |

Thanks I did not find them when searching for a barrel. Yes it's not going to be cheap, however I did already buy the national match trigger from Geissele. I think I better pair it with a excellent barrel.

I have a few Krieger barrels on bolt guns, never a Bartlein but I know they're excellent. There are plenty of very high quality barrels already on the market for the AR, the Ranier/Shilen UltraMatch being in the top of the heap. Noveske is another. I use a 14.5" Noveske LW to ping 4" steel plates, all day long @300, with my 75gr hand-loads. Bartlein makes great barrels but they won't do anything better then what's already available. Why go through the hassle?

Rainier's Ultramatch barrels are Shilen blanks. Mine loves the 76gr Hornady bullets.

OP - you're in OR so why not give Noveske a call? If they don't have the exact thing you're looking for, they've been known to do some one offs, especially if you're local

I have a Bartlien SPR barrel that came from Compass Lake Engineering.
If all you can find is the blank, you can send it to them and they'll turn it to the profile you want and chamber it to your liking. |

I have a 16" 1:8 Shilen from Dtech and it is perfection. Shooting 1" groups of a bench at 200 yards with a 6x scope and 60gr Nosler Ballistic tips.
