Found this company while looking for a 9.5" 5.56 barrel. Don't know anything other than what's on the website.

Whas there a change of ownership? I just thought the renamed / rebranded themselves.
Note that they have a discount / outlet website as well: https://truesportingarmsllc.com/
Rick, I don't have solid data to back this up, but I put BHW/CRA kind of in the middle. Generally better than the budget barrels but haven't earned the reputation as a top barrel maker. I think they priced accordingly. I would say the CRA is one of the least expensive custom barrel shops, so you if you want something odd or hard to find, they are a good source.

Sionics has a very good reputation over at M4C; they're not so popular outside of there, but I've yet to hear anything negative about them, so they're arguably a bit of a hidden gem (they worked with Will Larson AKA Iraqgunz of Semper Paratus Arms for awhile, IIRC, hence the M4C connection, and Larson has always praised them). They're local to me, and have done a little work for me before, and I've been happy.
Geissele also has an 11.5" upper that's not inordinately expensive, as does Sons of Liberty Gun Works, though I've heard of CS issues with SoLGW (though haven't heard anything bad about the guns themselves). PWS also has a budget line that could work, if you're interested in trying out a piston gun.Last edited by Default.mp3; 8 December 2019 at 19:22.

Its an 11.5” but BRT has their barrels made with the Triarc rifling, per Clint (the owner) over on M4C, although they call it 6P. Chrono data I’ve found posted online shows their barrels are all pretty consistently fast, so, velocity might be closer to a 12.5”. That’s internet data though so take it for what’s its worth.

They also make the same barrel for dedicated suppressed if that’s the route you’re going.
I know they put a lot of work into their profiles and port sizes; I’ve got the 16” and it’s just ridiculously smooth.-One Nation, Under God
