Does Urback still do them?  Looking for 7-8".

Mark Mcwillis at www.trosusa.com offers a 5" and a 9.5", with an HK 3-lug muzzle.  I have one of the latter, and like it quite a bit.

These also have the 3-lug cut from the blank, not threaded and glued.

For my $.02 worth, if you're using the 9mm barrel on a 16, I would use a Colt 9mm barrel.  To my knowledge Colt is the only 9mm barrel that is chromed lined.  Some say that since a pistol round is going so much slower than a rifle round, chrome lining isn't needed.  To me it is just about plain use.  I go through 1-2,000 rds of 9mm in an afternoon.  I love Beta dumps.  I have two Colt 9mm uppers and two Colt 9mm Beta C mags.  Chrome is much harder than steel.  I feel the chromed lined barrels will far out last a steel barrel.  In semi even with the Beta mags, in would take a while to go through 2,000 rds.  I dump a mag, then set the upper aside until I can hang on to the barrel with my hand.

   I have several 5.56 set ups with three 5.56 Beta mags.  I also have a 7.62X39 Colt full auto upper with another on the way.  I have a 75rd drum on the way and looking for a 100rd 7.62 chinese drum to combine with a couple of towers I have.  If I'm going to the range, I want to shoot not sit around.  With enough uppers to rotate, the uppers stay cool so I don't peal the chrome out of them.  One Beta dump and set it aside.  If you are using a 16, I would think that you will go through more ammo than a semi.  How long to you plan on using each upper?  Also there is just the hassle of setting up the upper the way I want it.  Once the barrel is worn out, I need to find another barrel and reset the upper the way I want it.  The fewer times I have to do this the better I like it.  It just seems to me, using a 16 I want the barrel to last as long as possible.  To me in a full auto application, chrome lining is the way to go.  Good luck with your 9mm project.
