I got it from here back in July.

I paid $115 shipped for the modern series. I was hesitant since I had ever heard or purchased from them but they delivered.

Maybe I'm picky (definitely) but I choose my barrels on having proper gas port sizes. That leaves only a few manufacturers like Colt, LMT, BCM, old school Noveske, and Sionics.
An extra $100 for a known good barrel instead of shopping the bargain bin is worth it to me since ammo costs far outweigh barrel costs.
Edit: I'm a barrel and optic snob, for certain. Happy Rich? :)Last edited by Slippers; 21 December 2016 at 07:12.

"Proper" seems to be subjective. Manufacturers over gas because consumers run crappy ammo. Keeps the customer service line from tuning because people don't have interest in matching barrels to ammo.
That's why I recommended the BRT barrel above. The balance, gas length, and port are all tuned "properly."

Since I'm swapping a few things out, I'm looking at barrels too. Think I am going to go with a Ballistic Advantage too (thanks to advice here).

12.5" M4 profile barrel with a carbine gas system. I don't know the gas port, but it's most likely bigger than my V7 gas port, as it runs unsuppressed with a H2 buffer (my V7 does not). I/you would need to go dig through my V7 post for its actual dimension, as I can't remember. CA barrel gives a whiff of gas, but isn't as toxic as others.
Admittedly, I do not have experience with his 16" barrels, but I'd bet their accuracy is on par with my 12.5". I'm not saying CA is the only option, by any means, just adding it to Will's list.

The best way to survive a violent encounter is to be the one inflicting the most violence.
