I am starting a build from all parts. I am planning on building a piston AR using the Adams piston set. I need to purchase a barrel but do not need the gas block. I would like a good barrel, not top of the line, but good. What are some recommendations and best places to buy. I have been looking at Midway and they seem to have a few good ones but I know very little about barrels. Thanks
ETA - Yea I guess I did not provide enough info. This gun is just for all around shooting. Maybe a little coyote hunting, range time, home defense/shtf, etc... I am leaning towards a 16 inch barrel with M4 feed ramps. As far as twist rate and type of material I am open to suggestions as well. My experience with ARs is limited to Military M-16s and a few different department Ar-15s with different pedigrees. Like i mentioned earlier I know little about barrels. I just shoot what comes with the rifle. So any input is welcome. |

Quoted:
Which length, twist rate, steel type, bore lining & feed ramp type do you want? You didn't post enough intel for others to be able to make a decent recommendation. This and: What will you be doing with this rifle: 3 gun, National Match, Service Rifle match, plinking, HD/SHTF, patrol/duty, hunting big game, hunting varmints, all of the above? |
| How about this barrel. Reviews seem to be good. The price seems to be OK also. Opinions? |

That is an excellent cut rifled barrel. It's not a CHF like most current DD barrels. Bear in mind that you will need a low pro gas block or have a gun smith drill & pin a FSB on it. I say buy it for what you want to do. |
