Alright so I think I've narrowed my choices down to Wilson combat 16" tactical lightweight with 1:7 twist for $250 or the rainier arms medcon barrel with 1:8 twist for 260 . What does everyone think? Which would you choose and why or the advantages and disadvantages of each ?
Thanks

Is the extra money really worth that fluted barrel vs. The other two? The routing suppose save weight however is actually heavier then the other Rainer two posted. So is it worth it and if so why?

Don't have a choice now.

Hey I'm doing my 1st AR build and I believe I'm gonna go with an 18" barrel with a 1:8 twist. but not sure whether to go rifle length or mid-length for gas block and on top of all of that I am having trouble finding any barrels that are that length with that twist.  Does anyone know where I can get one?

Reg. Price:
$319.00
Sale Price:
$265.00
Save:
$54.00
Items Remaining:28


18" with a rifle length gas system to soften the recoil impulse for the fastest follow up shots.

223 Wylde chamber  4150 CMV  8 twist  5R , .850 under the guard, .750 gas block, .720 from the gas block forward.

Threaded 5/8-24, M4 feed ramps,  2lb 3.2oz
Melonite treated barrels have proven to near twice as long as stainless barrels and are just as  accurate.

This barrel is primarily a 3 gun barrel but is also very accurate and could be a good varmint or target barrel

Eagle Valley outfitters has Centurion chf barrels in stock.
If you don't already know they are made by FN.
The listed price is $318. I added it to my cart and it dropped to $299. Entered the code "shot25" for $25 off. Actually paid $274 and some change. Decent deal considering I was ready to pay the $318.
Also free shipping is available. EVO is one of our vendors and they have an add in the ee if you want to check them out.linky
