I am into my first build and I need a .223 barrel. I want the best 16" barrel for $300 or less.
What is my best bet? Thanks for all your feedback.... |

This seems like a good deal....any thoughts? |
| I just bought a 20 inch chrome lined 1:7 twist barrel from Yankee Hill Machine for $190.00. I would really check out YHM's barrels they are a steal and you can even get them fluted if you look around for $200.00. I have heard better feedback on the YHM Barrels than the Daniel Defense non-hammered forged barrels that run anywhere from $170 for a stripped barrel to $250 for one with a Front Sight Base. For the money you can buy the YHM Barrel plus a railed gas block or FSB with gas tube and if needed a barrel nut and at minimum an A-2 Flash Hider for less than $300 including shipping. Go with a 1:9 twist if you plan on shooting 55-62 grain bullets or military surplus ammo. If you reload go with a 1:7 twist and you can shoot the heavier 70, 75,77, & 80 grain bullets and ring more accuracy out of the rifle. |

Great buy on the YHM barrel the fluted ones look really cool.
