1/8
 I bought a mid length Faxon last weekend for $160.XX. Mine was the QPQ pencil 14.5 middy. I haven't built it up yet but it looks like good stuff. You should stick with a 1/7 and get a Daniel Defense barrel. Possibly the most accurate CHF barrels I've shot to date. For BCG's the following are GTG: Daniel Defense, BCM, AIM Surplus, PSA premium. |

Bang for buck, green mountain has some great barrels with great accuracy. Get a bcg from a known vendor with good customer service.
EDIT: I agree with the list of bcg's above. I used to not be a fan, but after a buddy started ordering AIM bcgs, including nitride, I decided I am a fan. And AIM so far has good CS. |

Nothing wrong with 1/8 for most purposes. ETA: I'm curious.... You say your barrel is 1/7. But Faxon's web page says it's 1/8

They have a flat rate shipping of $6.50. You could get a 16in melonited barrel for $116.50 shipped. These barrels are made from Green Mountain blanks. As already mentioned for BCG's; PSA premium, AIM and Toolcraft for low cost and high quality. |

Definitely Green Mountain for the best value and quality in what you're looking for, get the 16" mid-length with 1:8 rifling...excellent shooters.
A standard mil-spec BCG (C158) will serve you well, no need to go too exotic.
