Match grade carbine gas barrels?

[jasonpaul]

Does anyone have a lead on an IN STOCK carbine gas length match grade barrel? It can be 13.7, 14.5 or 16" - that doesn't matter because it will be cut down and profiled anyway. I can't seem to find any NON M4 profile barrels in stock anywhere. Oh, and it also shouldn't be $400. [crazy]

What are you going to cut it down to?

Blackhole 16" at SAA, $230 (http://www.surplusammo.com/blackhole-weaponry-ar-15-16-carbine-hbar-stainless-steel-5-56-1-8-poly-barrel/)

416R Stainless, matte black finish
Carbine length gas
HBAR profile, 0.75" block
1 in 8 twist poly groove

Looks like you get a free stripped upper with purchase

Just buy from Black Hole directly.

No need to support the clowns at Surplus.

I'd rather do naughty things to myself with a tater mitt than buy from SAA.

Can you elaborate? I've bought a couple thousand rounds of S&B 9mm from them (several times) pre-panic and never had an issue. It usually was the best price (including Walmart) for decent bulk brass-cased ammo.

I'll send you a PM later.

Call Dan Lilja, when I was in the market for a 16" barrel he had them in stock.

They aren't cheap.

Actually, scratch that - I just noticed you said "not $400" LOL

[MoxyDave]

I was going to mention Lilja (www.riflebarrels.com) as well, but yes they are certainly pricey.

I couldn't find too many options for a carbine-gas stainless barrel for my Stickman 50K giveaway rifle. I was willing to spare no expense with this particular gun so I went with a fluted 17" Recce-style barrel (http://www.riflebarrels.com/products/ar.htm), the same one they supplied to the Naval Surface Warfare Center. It won't make a damn bit of difference in terms of accuracy in my hands, but it sure looks cool.
