| I am putting together an AR (Vltor upper, BCG to be decided) and looking for a good quality barrel recommendation. I will be shooting 3 gun 90% of the time and most shots will max out at 200 to 300 yards. The majortiy of shots will range from 35 yards to 150 yards. I'm considering a 16" barrel (I've not had a problem with the carbine length gas system) but now considering a 17" or 18" barrel because of the rifle length gas system. Plus a Bennie Cooley brake. Since this would be a high round count gun a chromed lined barrel seems the way to go and I'm trying to figure out who's barrel to go with. (No flaming of industry supporters). I've got a few ideas such as CMMG, AR15 barrels, etc..... |

If money isn't a concern, here's the ultimate answer to your question; www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=22&t=377617 Other than that, have you considered a mid-length 16" chromed barrel from Armalite?  It's only $200 bones, uses a mid-length gas system, comes with a removable gas block, and rumor has it that Armalite's chromed barrels are some of the most accurate because Armalite laps their barrels before the chroming process.
