So my barrel was supposed to be ordered in July, well apparently my barrel did not get ordered by the shop I use. So, now what barrel? A Noveske 21 from Rainier, or a Rainier Supermatch fluted or no? Or what other barrel manufacturer that is ready to ship?

True on the monopod. But will the P.R.S. be comfortable to use on foot on the run? I shoot standing up right,kneeling, and prone. Depends on my target

One last stock question. Magpul PRS or get a Magpul CTR and a Battleline Industries SAPR. I know the PRS is adjustable in l.o.p. and comb, but not overall length. While the CTR and S.A.P.R. can adjust overall length, moveable comb, and minute l.o.p. Which is preferred?

I hate backorder

Alright. I was gonna take the Mike Rock route but hes not taking orders from what his site says

Gonna get a $200 .308 barrel to play with. Gonna order a Krieger 1 in 10 heavy barrel; 22 inches long; threaded end; rifle gas system. Should I get the barrel fluted; to me it's more esthetic than practical. I know it helps cool the barrel; but is it really as effective as what everyone says? Weight isn't an issue for me.

Stainless I believe. Should I order it or wait on Krieger/ Mike Rock?

Anybody use a JP barrel or bolt/carrier? They sell an ultramatch barr with an already headspaced bolt, and sell carriers as well. Think total for bolt&carrier/bcg and barrel would be around 800. Is that an unreal price for a bcg and barrel combo? 11:37 PM Noveske barrel in stock ready to ship.$560.00+s/h. How good are Noveske barrels?

Mega MaTen will accept either bcg/bolt. But bcg/bolt must be the same style. Using a MaTen standard set.

Yeah. I'm hoping I cam come across a Krieger or a Lothar Walther. I know a pro rifle builder. (Scratch builds Ar type stuff in Oklahoma) but I think hes a bit high end for me. But if hes got it. I need it, and time is money. I gotta get a barrel here pretty quick

Patience is key young Padawan. Yeah I have no patience what so ever. But their are barrels out their. Just gotta find them

Yes; MaTen compatibility is SR25/Armalite/DPMS/Noveske. Barrel and bolt have to be the same. Yes this will be the gooder than better build. Not proper grammar, but oh well. I like quality stuff. Especially if its made right here in the U.S.A. I like to keep my money home, and support local businesses. I don't mind used parts, but with the barrel if it's truly 200 rounds that's a barrel break in. Money and ammo I don't have to spend. But on the other hand its used, not new, and if its a dud. I'm out the money. I like new stuff, I'm gonna go with a 1:10 Krieger if I can find one new. I have the local gunshop looking for a barrel and bcg. Quality/precision are key in this build. Kinda hoping somebody on here might have barrel to spare. But if not, I will find one on Gunbroker. Patience is key

Found a Krieger 1:10 20 inch barrel "had 200 rounds through it; bolt an barrel". Its an Armalite bcg and barrel and it says that it has been headspaced for the barrel. But its starting ia $500 and buy now is $1K.

I found a Krieger barrel and bolt on Gunbroker that is said to have a low round count. 20 inch barrel, 1 in 10 twist fluted barrel. It has been headspaced by Krieger but the price scares me. But a known bolt that matches the barrel would be better than buying a $500 barrel then a $330 bcg

I will probably order a barrel sometime this week. What twist rate should I buy? 1:10 or 1:12 or split the difference at 1:11.25?
