Most quality 6.8 barrels are not setup for front sight base. You can always send one to ADCO and have it drilled and pinned. Are you against the front flip up?? Also, most 6.8 barrels have "MIDDY" gas on a 16" and carbine gas is used on the 12" barrels. What length barrel are you looking for?? Honestly I think the carbine gas on a 16" is a bad idea. |

Don't count out WOA (White Oak Armament).
John Hollinger is one of the tops in the business and they make some stellar stuff. I have a 20" 6.8 barrel on my latest build, going to shoot it today. It's suppose to be sub-MOA, but we'll see if I can shoot that well today. lol Here it is: 
Their website is: http://www.whiteoakarmament.com Of course, if money's not an object and you want the best of the best, they have another division for that as well: http://www.whiteoakprecision.com |

The majority of its velocity is achieved within 12 inches anyway, so why not go with a shorter barrel for a quicker handling gun ? J223... |

Because the Middy gas is softer shooting and easier on the gun. In my opinion, 16" barrels should have Middy gas on 6.8 and 5.56 rifles. I wasn't speaking specifically on the 6.8. |

ARPerformance uses a midlength gas system and will pin on your FSB for an additional charge. Their barrels are exceptional. I own one. Though you are looking specifically for a carbine length gas system, are you familiar with the benefits and superiority of the midlength gas system when combined with the 6.8? The first barrel is from STAG The second barrel is from DPMS Your choice should be ARPerformance as it is superior. Good luck with your build.

<meta charset="utf-8"></meta>6.8 SPC II AP4 Barrel Sale Price: $229.95 Was told to stay away from dpms and stag. The dpms twist rate is wrong spec I version, and the stag has feeding problems possibly no m4 ramps I forget. Out of all the people I email WOA emailed me and said they could definitly do it and give them a call. So sometime this week thats what I will probably do. |

Get the 4 groove barrel from WOA, the 4 groove barrels are made from Shilen blanks and the 6 groove are made from Wilson blanks(both 1:11 twist w/spec-II chambers). +1. My 4 grove Shilen blank on WOA is a tack driver. With Barnes 110 TSX bullet, I am getting less than .50 MOA. Took 2 whitetail deers with this past season. |

Is this different than the standard WOA 6.8 barrels? Like I said in a previous post, I'm well under sub-MOA with it, closer to .3 to .4 MOA. |
