I'm gathering parts for a cheap A2 carbine and I am having a hell of a time trying to find a proper barrel for this thing. So far I have a psa lower and a psa lpk, i already have a carbine stock for it and of course, a FN A2 upper but trying to find a decent chrome lined non f marked barrel with a barrel extension that doesn't have M4 ramps is making me crazy. I don't really feel like dremeling out some on my receiver. It just seems like everywhere i turn all barrels have m4 ramps and f marked sights and i've already been there and done that 4 or 5 times if you know what i mean. any help would be much appreciated.

You should be okay with m4 barrel one your upper, m4 on m4 good, rifle on rifle good, m4 on rifle okay, rifle on m4 bad. As far as a correct barrel I would haunt the EE I just found an A2 20" barrel for my project on the cheap.

Site vendor J&T/Doublestar should have 16" LW profile barrels without M-4 ramps and with standard FSB. May come with straight pins on FSB but they are very reputable and should have in stock. They stand behind their products. I've used quite a few and they have always performed exceptional.
