Any recommendations? It's going to go on a blemished PSA upper that I'm building from scratch. (5.56)

A couple I've seen (in stock):

20" Red X Arms, stainless steel, 1/8, $129, fluted is $159
20" Del-ton Pre-Ban Govt Profile, 1/9, $154 or $189 chrome lined

I didn't have any issues with the Del-Ton 20" Goverment Profile Barrel (free float configuration). The groups are far tighter at 500 yds on the FNH 20" Goverment Profile Barrel I got used as a takeoff. That said are you wanting the 20" barrel for velocity, accuracy, or "The Look"?

Pretty much just for the look. I want it to look like the A3 that I had in the Navy, except due to cost I had to go for a flat-top so it's going to be a budget A4 copy.

Thanks for the link to Green Mountain Rifle Barrels. They seem like pretty good options.

ETA: JSE Surplus has two that I'm looking at as well (in stock).

Del-ton HBar, moly, 1/9, $150
DPMS Lightweight, moly, 1/9, $150

both come with FSB and sight parts

These.  I have a 18" from Green Mtn.  Very happy with it.  $193 shipped.  Seemed to be inaccurate at first, but it took about 250 rounds to break it in.  Now 2" groups at 100 yards is possible even with cheap ammo.  Good ammo would probably bring that down around an inch.
