I like Mega's barrels.  Oops...you don't want DPMS.

Criterion makes great barrels. They will work with Armalite bolt, but you need to check headspace. They are usually tapped for DPMS gas tube length, but custom stuff can be gotten from them.

Krieger, Criterion, Obermeyer, Lilja, Lothar Walther, etc etc.

Worst case scenario, you'll need to get a BAT Machine barrel, or an Armalite barrel extension, new Armalite bolt, and have whatever barrel you want made to spec.

There are not many mass produced parts for the Armalite in the aftermarket. That's a very GOOD thing, so you don't have 10 different companies making stuff that doesn't work, giving your platform a bad rep.

Find a local but good gunsmith to finish a blank of your choice and call it good. That's what I'm going to do when I shoot out my 10T barrel. If you don't have or don't want to do that then Krieger will do an Armalite barrel if you provide them with an extension.


ETA Lothar Walther will do it and they a real good shooters!

If you're interested in a barrel utilizing a Criterion blank, but optimized for the AR-10, I would suggest contacting Mark Hostetter of Precision Firearms ([email protected]). He can turn our blanks down to any length or contour, and can make them compatible with unique AR patterns and multiple chamber configurations. This would likely be more cost effective than placing a single piece custom factory direct order, as the expenses involved with retooling and setup costs would likely prove fairly significant utilizing our production processes.
