My searchfu has been very weak recently and I can't quite find what I'm looking for, so I'm asking you all for some help. All feedback is very appreciated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My specifications for a barrel are: 16" (non negotiable) 5.56 chamber (.223wylde is ok) Melonited/nitrided preferred (this will be a hard use barrel, no SS but I don't mind chrome lined) .750 gas block step is heavily preferred (.625 is ok as long as the profile isn't super thin) I'd like it to be able to keep at least 10 rounds close together before heat starts walking it significantly (negotiable) Light(er) weight (sub 28oz, less is better with most of the weight towards the reciever, no govt profiles) Moa, or close to it capable $300 max ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will be put on a lightish rifle that is going to be carried a lot, and shot even more. If you have a barrel that doesn't quite fit the specs but you think it's a great barrel and worth whatever spec it doesn't fit, don't be afraid to post it. Thanks. |

AR15Perfomance...aka...ARP
16" mid scout barrel, 27oz, 4150 cmv, melonite, 1/8 5R rifling, .223 Wylde...doesn't get much better, especially at the price.

| So I believe I've narrowed it down, I'm debating between the arp scout profile 16" @27oz -$185, a faxon firearms gunner profile 16" @23oz -$175 but doesn't come dimpled, or the sionics 16" lw @22oz -$209. The faxon and sionics have a .625 gas block step, but I feel the weight savings are worth it. The sionics barrel seems kinda thin but I've only read good things about them. The arp and sionics are in stock now, the faxon is not. Tell me which you would buy and why. |
