Bkolar81 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Gents, I am really wanting to put a polished stainless barrel on my new .308 build but I am having a hard time finding options. I am planning to run an 18 inch with a mid length gas system. Give me some recommendations. Price really isn't an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkolar81 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I will be going DPMS pattern. I bought the July builders kit from Aero Precision that is cerakoted to look like a flag in a parchment color. I want it to be a great looking gun but also function just as good as it looks. I have been looking at JP but I can't find any or their nickel boron bolts that have forward assist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkolar81 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Maybe I could use the JP barrel and the Fail Zero nickel boron BCG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulton sells a very nice BCG that is just like the JP high pressure but much less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more inclined to use a Nitrated BCG anymore , but have a Chrome & NIB BCG 's that are working fine in the 308AR . Fulton Armory & Criterion Barrels are made for the DPMS pattern 308AR .http://www.fulton-armory.com/barrelfatitan185nmmedss1x10936gasblock.aspx JP's Barrels are Good Here are some more to look at , http://www.jsesurplus.com/308.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a way to have fun with new guys, kinda like entrapment , if you would have kept it to "I kind of dig the looks of this one." you would of been OK Looks good to me .

Bkolar81 Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Thanks 98Z5B! I am very much considering the Wilson Arms barrel. It's a poop load cheaper than the JP and I like the looks of the fluting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw , thats the way it works , you gave your review & he is off the hook , but "BK "still needs to give a review on the BBL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkolar81 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I will give a review when I am all finished with the build. Now that the barrel I ordered the focus moves to a BCG and Gas system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I will say, in current-governmental terms... "Full Disclosure..." - all my Wilson Arms barrels are .223 Wylde chambers, 1:8" twist, and shoot the damn lights out. They're not .308 Win barrels. They are the 16" midlength precision gun built on Spike's Tactical billet ambi receivers, the Mk12 Mod 0 rifle, and the Woody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
