I am looking for barrel options for my next build in the $200 price range. Previously on a light weight build I purchased a Faxon 14.5" pencil and I love it. I also have a Faxon 9mm barrel which I am also happy with. That being said I am currently looking at the Faxon 14.5" Gunner or the Ballastic Advantage 14.5/7" Modern series.
Would it be entirely worth it to step up to a Ballastic Advantage 14.5" .223 Wylde Premium Hanson which is still in the price range or say another $60 for a LaRue Stealth 5.56 14.5"? I am also open to other suggestions as well. Thanks.
