| Working on my first build. I've got a Seekins Precision upper and lower and I'm not sure what barrel to go with. Still learning about barrel brands. Going for an all around shooter. Any advice? |

Black Hole Weaponry makes some very nice barrels in a wide selection of contours, lengths, and chamberings. However, they're made to order and it may take a few weeks before they ship. |

Depends on what you want... accuracy, reliability, general purpose?
For match accuracy you want expensive barrels coupled with well hand loaded ammo For reliability, chrome lined bore, etc., won't be as accurate but will be easier to clean. For general purpose all around shooter, stock/mil spec everything. It's cheap and it works. I think it's wasteful to spend 500 dollars on a barrel unless you know exactly what you want. |

| There are so many quality barrels to choose from that it's hard to suggest one without knowing exactly what type of upper you want to build. Just do it right and buy a LaRue barrel while they're on sale. PredaTar for a lightweight build or Stealth for a bench shooter, sub moa barrels for less than $250. I would also suggest a Daniel Defense barrel, mine has been awesome. |
| Larue barrels are on sale for $225 till July 4th. Mine is extremely accurate, I have never heard a bad thing about their products. Take a look at the MOA all day challange, see what half of the barrels on the list are. I plan to pick up 2 more before the sale is over for future builds. |
