I want a 10.5 inch with a pinned low profile gas block for duty use. I have found this exact DD barrel in stock for $315. Another option is to buy the RRA for $200 and cut down the front sight. Is the DD barrel worth the extra money or will the RRA be enough for what I need it for?

Yes, it would be worth it to me YMMV. |
For duty use I'd consider the DD. If it were personal use and plinking I'd buy the RRA and chop the FSB. It takes about a half hour to do the chop and profile. DD will likely have more longevity for high round counts. My local PD just approved another AR manufacturer for duty use and I know they run DD barrels on their weapons. We need pics after the build
