Green Mountain doesn't make 18" 5.56 AR barrels.
FN makes the best 18" barrel in terms of longevity and barrel life due to the use of M249 SAW barrel blanks. Rifle gear sells them for the cheapest I believe. If I was picking a barrel with accuracy in mind as my first priority, I would go with Criterian's 18" rifle length hybrid profile barrel. Can't get much more accurate than criterian, and the barrel is still chrome lined for decent longevity and durability vs. a traditional match stainless. |

I bought an eighteen inch Noveske "lightweight" (more of a medium weight) barrel for $350.00 on the EE here and shoot at 500 yds pretty regularly. Sub 5" groups are easy if the wind behaves and I'm doing everything right. Can't go too far wrong with a Noveske barrel for your needs...

Green Mountain ...or ARP, both are top-notch and not expensive. |
