I just snagged a carry handle upper and now want to put together a 10.5" CAR-type upper with a pinned A2 FSB.  I think I'm preferring a chrome lined barrel but I guess melonited one would be fine also.  

I have my SBRs now so I am looking for a little range toy that has that retro shorty look.  I think it is the rifle that Al Pacino used in the movie Heat!!

Any recommendations on where to find one of these at a good price right now?  I just need a barrel only with the taper-pinned FSB already installed.

Thanks for any help

Just saw PSA has a 10.5" melonited/nitrided with barrel nut, delta ring and pinned FSB for 160.00

ETA....4150 CMV barrel steel too

Might be jumping on that

For that kinda price you really can't beat it. However, there were a couple LMT 10.5 barrels with pinned fsp in the EE recently for very reasonable prices. I know because I bought one of them . They were all around $200 or less. Snagged mine for $150.

I just spent the past couple of weeks searching for 10.3 barrels that come with a standard fsb. Also looked at 10.5 and over to have chopped to 10.3.

I found very few 10.5 chrome lined barrels with a fsb. None were under $200. PSA seemed to have been the best choice.

I went with a colt chrome lined barrel I got for $200 on gun broker. Plan to send it to ADCO to have it chopped to 10.3.

EDIT- for ones I know that are in stock--

PSA $160 don't know who makes the barrel

Andro $185

Aero $205 - I believe these are ballistic advantage barrels

Ballistic Advantage is sold out of 10.5 barrels.

Lots of 10.5 barrels for sale, just very few come with a fsb already installed.
