[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 7.5" barrel question

Posted: 11/10/2011 2:31:37 PM EDT

I'm wanting to build a fun 7.5" upper and the only thing I need is the barrel. I'm wanting the lightest profile barrel in 7.5" that I can get, preferably in 1/7 twist. I'd also like to keep this barrel below $250. I've been looking around but have not found anything yet. Can you guys make any recommendations?

ETA: I'd like the barrel to not have a FSB.

Thanks,
Mark

Not necessarily a recommendation, as I have not personally shot one... but this is well within your price range:
7" Kitty Kat Barrel

I'm planning on using this barrel.

It looks like it may be a little lighter than the kitty kat although it is a bit more expensive and does not include a gas block.

I've had ADCO cut down some lightweight barrels to 7.5.

I got my from American Spirit Arms. They are actually in the Industry Forum here. I love mine, I got the gas tube but no gas block because I had my own. No regrets at all

I am running the woa from adco. I really like it.

It gets pretty hot. It is not for mag dumps, by the third 30 round mag I can barely hold the rifle with gloves. But it is a really fun gun.

I used a 7.3" from CMMG for mine - been very happy with it.
