I'm building my first AR-15 and do not have a lot of money. My next step is to get a 16" barrel with a carbine length gas system. I'm not using this guns for any competition or anything, but I don't want a barrel that sucks and I will have to replace in a year or so. One question is: Is it okay to get the normal Stoner profiled barrel, or should I spend a little more for a Bergara, DPMS, VooDoo, or Wilson Combat barrels? (I'm not going higher end than that)
Also, does cold hammer forging really matter? |

Unless you going to melt the barrel all the time you can do without CHF. I would go with a spikes tactical M4 le barrel from AIM for $190 shipped. Cheap and worth the cash from a reputable company that cares about its customers.
