Well you guys have gone and made me spend my hard earned $$. I’ve bought two SLR15 lowers (one for now, one for later) and will order a CMMG Upper today. I’m a little lost on the barrel options, so here I am looking for some more advice. My goals again are 1. Complete and unreasonable reliability 2. Reasonable accuracy – an old guy is able to hit a groundhog at 100 yards with iron sites (but will used optics as a rule) 3. Well balanced 4. Light weight 5. Reasonably non-corrosive 6. Easy to mount accessories 7. Won’t break the bank I’m going for the SLR Grail type of rifle, I’m thinking a full float, chrome lined barrel with a front site (& lug to worry the lefties) in either 16 inch length or maybe a 14.5 with a Vortec FH. I’ll be going 1/9. The upper has the M-4 ramps so I’m looking for a barrel with a corresponding barrel extension. So what do you think, can I find something in the $200 +- range? Help me spend some (if not too much) cash. |
| JBRS has 16" chrome lined M4 barrels for about $170 + shipping. He has them in 14.5" too. I bought a couple of his 14.5 barrels a couple of years ago, they were DTI on Wilson blanks. He used to have a deal with a 14.5" barrel and a Phanton FH as well. Jack is good to deal with, I bought a couple of 14.5" barrels from him in the past, and was really pleased. |
