Does anyone make a match grade M4 barrel replacement that accepts all of my existing parts on my Del Ton upper? My barrel is a 5.56 chamber CL 1/7 twist and it's accuracy is perfectly within specs. I am looking for better without losing the looks of the M4 profile.

Any information appreciated.

Thanks

Why would you want an M203 cut on a match barrel?

You can get them. I don't now where, because they are silly.

The dimensions of an M4 barrel are not the most conducive for accuracy.
"fat-skinny-thick-skinny-thick" just doesn't make a particularly good "match" barrel.

There are tons of accurate carbine barrels out there; look at Noveske.
If you're going for accuracy, I don't see why the M4 "look" is an important part of your goal.

I don't agree with silly. I also like the look of an M4 profile as opposed to a straight barrel.
I would just look for a good manufacturer of M4 barrels and get the best one they had.
Check BCM, Daniel Defense.
If I'm following you, you want an M4 type carbine that will shoot like a match barrel. I can relate.

Yep, I'm hoping to find one that will take all of my stock components including front sight and flash hider with no difference in appearance vs. the stock M4 barrel.

Daniel Defense makes a nice barrel.  Brownell's have them.

Are you just looking for the M4 look in front of  the FSB?  If so a SOCOM barrel from BCM may be your ticket.  Thick under the handguards with the M4 contour in front of the FSB.

BCM has a nice SOCOM barrel but I see from their web page they are out of stock:  I have this 16" SOCOM barrel on a BCM upper.

Oberland Arms here in EU use Lothar Walter SS barrel with M4 profile...I dont know if these are available in the US

ETA:
just found out with google that Remsport Mfg. makes SS M4 barrels...but I dont know anything about quality accuracy etc

Check with Sun Devil.  Their 16" barrel is made by Lothar Walther.  It is a 1:9" twist chrome moly for $199.

If your front sight is a tapper pin good luck, as no 2 are drilled the same.
