Check out barrels from
KAK Industry's barrels. I have the 16" and it's a really nice barrel.
I strongly recommend going with a pistol gas system. As someone has said, "carbine gas can be made to work," but it's not a given, while pistol gas WILL work with a standard buffer and standard loads. My 16" upper, running a standard, non-adjustable gas block, eats up UMC (Barnes-made for Remington) 120gr OTFBs as well as Remington's own (lesser quality but still functional) 220gr subs with no changes at all to any part of the rifle.
I haven't tried carbine gas with this caliber for a reason: there are so many threads here about "why won't my gun cycle with X", when those guns feature carbine gas systems. The only pistol gas rifles I've read about not working have been in guns that someone decided "needed" a ton of fancy additions or expensive parts. With standard parts and pistol gas, it should "just work."
