I have been looking at barrels and researching for a couple of weeks now. I was looking at mid length 16" barrels but found a brand new FN carbine barrel for $180 shipped with a staked fsb, barrel nut. From what I find, this is a he'll of a price for a FN. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they all cold hammer forged?

Should I jump on this? My goal for my build is a quality plinker/shtf gun. Would this fit the bill? The only other barrel I have found with can and under $200 with good reviews is a del ton.

Should I go ahead and get this fn carbine barrel or look for a mid length with a 1x8 or 1x9 twist?
1/11/2014 9:02:54 AM EDT

Get the carbine barrel.  I'd go with M4 profile over HBAR.

may sound like a dumb question to you guys, but what is the difference between HBAR and M4 style barrels?

How much "meat" that's on the barrel and it's weight are the biggest differences

I fucking hate the M4 profile. It's a result of shit compromises, poor planning, and sub optimizations. People want it because that's what the military has, but they don't know the trail of duct tape that led to this shit profile.

Do you have anything to back this up besides an opinion?  What profile do you prefer?
