I'm nearing the end of my 300 AAC AR15 build. I need a barrel, BCG, and forend/rail. Of those parts, only the barrel has not yet been selected.
As much as I would love a SBR, it's not an option where I live. So, I'll be using a 16" barrel on this build. So, I guess I'm looking for options and recommendations from you folks. I'm only famailiar with a few barrels out there and I'm really not sure which ones to stay away from. I'll be shooting light (110gr) and heavy (220gr) through it. Some suppressed and some unsuppressed. I'm unsure of optimal twist and gas length.
For a budget, I'd like to keep it at $250 or less. I could stretch it to $300 if it's worth it though.
I found a Seekins barrel that looks decent. It's melonite over stainless, which I'm unfamiliar with and I have no idea who is makes their barrels. I've also seen Core15, AR Stoner, CMMG, and Wilson, but again, I don't know much about them. And the Noveske's and AAC's seem to run above my budget.
