THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Hi Gents,
I'm researching 18"-20" barrels for my AR10A. The Rainier Arms "Select" barrel looks good but I hesitate because the description on the web site does not specify Armalite or DPMS.
(this one- http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=2691 )

Their "Ultra Match" barrels do specify Armalite or DPMS but also run about $100 more.

Any thoughts? Has anyone used their "Select" barrel?

Thanks!

I ordered the Rainer 20" Ultra Match barrel. Just waiting on a gas tube so I can get it installed. I'll advise how it works out.

This got me a bit curious so I decided to look into it.
Looks like the select is DPMS pattern.

That's what I determined as well even though Rainier told me the Select barrel would work in DPMS and Armalite. I ordered the Ultra Match barrel. It went together very nicely and I was able to shoot several sub MOA groups while breaking it in and dialing in the scope.
