Looking for 16 inch mid with Front sight post or an 18 or 20 inch.
Want it to be under $90 between 90 and 125 shipped but a good barrel. Saw lots that fit the criteria a month or so ago but was not ready then. Anything out there? |

How do you have 3500+ posts here and not know that it will be damn near impossible to find a GOOD barrel, shipped, for under 90$. I mean you can get a barrel for that much, sure, I do not know how good I would call it. It will work, but as far as corrosion resistance, accuracy, longevity, etc, it is a crap shoot. That being said, I think I paid 120 for my YHM 10.5 barrel when it was on sale at PA. Look for sales, that is my answer. Sales are your friend. Also this all depends on your definition of the word "good".
I hope that gave you a little guidance. |

Not $90 - $125, "a bit more", but good barrels for the money. http://www.gmriflebarrel.com/ar-15-m16-m4-rifle-barrels/ http://www.redbarnarmory.com/16inch-556-M4-Nitrided-AR15-barrel-1-7-twist-p/rba16m417.htm http://www.redbarnarmory.com/RBA-16-Gov-Profle-Barrel-CCL7-p/rba16govccl17.htm |
| Here is a green mountain from a dealer on the EE. Ive gotten a crap load of good deals from him in the last month. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_22/1436411_5_56_BARREL_OVERSTOCK_10_5_and_16_CHEAP.html. I've seen the same barrel with other dealers for $50-75 more. The best part.........that's the shipped price. |

If you saw them here a month ago, can't you just do a search and find the posts you are talking about.?
In that price range I wouldn't call them good, but cheap. You Might look at the Bear Creek Arsenal stuff out of North Carolina, I have read good things about them and considered one for a short time but decided to get a "good" barrel instead. I say just do what I did and wait until you have saved up more money, then buy a good barrel. I know it takes longer and it's hard to wait, but in the end you will be very glad you did. My build took 7 months and I averaged $143 per month in spending. But Now I have a top notch AR ( finished building last week) Complete Black Rain Billet Lower w/ Magpul furniture Crosshill Technologies XSR-15 Side Charging Billet Upper w/ NiB BCG, & bolt Black Hole Weaponry 18" mid length Stainless Barrel (Caudle 3 Land Polygonal Rifling ) Rousch Sports 12" keymod UltraSlim hand guard, Gas Block & Tube Shot it for the 1st. time yesterday and can cover my 3 shot groups with a quarter! and for someone who has never had a AR or a rifle, I have to give the barrel the credit for that accuracy. So Glad I held off and took longer to get better quality |
| Here is the best deal you'l find on a quality 16" barrel with FSB... Spike's FN CHF barrel. |
