Im working on my first build and am looking for a 16" mid length barrel. Im looking to spend about 250 tops for the barrel. I dont know much about barrel profiles and if it makes much of a difference except for weight. Any suggestions on which barrel to get?

I have a PSA upper and FA bcg with a troy 11" trx handguard. Are all low profile gas blocks pretty much equal? And any suggestions as to which sights to get? Also any suggestions on a muzzle break? I cant get a flash hider where im from. Thanks for any help

I just put together a Del Ton kit and it's shooting around MOA with my handloads.  Its a 1 in 9 chrome lined, either mossberg or wilson from my understanding.  Basically it doesn't take a match barrel to get reasonable accuracy.

i got a wilson combat 16" stainless match barrel in recon profile 1:7 twist mid length. The profile can affect barrel harmonics and accuracy as well as heat up and cool down times. my barrel was $250 and I am very happy with it. Troy makes a dang fine sight as well as matech magpul is a little more affordable.
