Just bought a 604 receiver. Want to build a 605 upper. Don't think anyone offers a barrel ready to go. Delton has a heavy barrel. I could turn one myself. Any ideas?

ZMan's awesome spread sheet in the above linked thread, lists sources for your choosing^^^

I'd go with Green Mountain or Brownells, if wanting rifle length gas and then chop and enlarge the port

Thanks. Should have looked there first. I have a lathe in the garage so it's easy to chop one.
