Was wanting the general opinion of the Bushmaster 14.5 AK HBAR barrel. I have one that has not been fired and since the AWB looks like it will sunset I was wondering if this barrel was worth keeping? If so what flash hider would you recommend or would you just keep the AK style brake on the end? I think this barrel is chrome lined and a chrome chamber. The writing on the barrel states "B MP 5.56 NATO H BAR". Any and all opinions would be helpful......Thanks   Trapfan

If it were mine, I would have the barrel turned down to a skinnier profile under the handguards and have the brake replaced with a Vortex or Phantom FS.

+1 , and definately go with the newer Phantom 5C2 Comp/Flash Hider (YHM-28-5C2)
