Polished stainless barrel

[Bkolar81]

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.

what patern are you using dpms or ar10 or other? quick serch showed rainer arms but not polished ( shiny) maybe give any manufacturer a call and see if they can polish one?

 Criterion or Fulton Armory . You want something like this , below .

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.

Maybe I could use the JP barrel and the Fail Zero nickel boron BCG.

Fulton sells a very nice BCG that is just like the JP high pressure but much less money.

Thanks!  I will take a look.

  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

Thanks for the tips.

I kind of dig the looks of this one.  Anyone have any experience with Wilson arms barrels?

You mighta just dug your self a trench ??

[Bkolar81]

I don't comprehend.

 The Rule !     If no one has experience with this Barrel & can give a review , with in a certain time limit , you have to purchase it & give us a review . 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]

Gotcha.  I guess I can be a guinea pig.

I have 3 (three) Wilson Arms barrels. They all excel, to a great degree.  They are phenomenal barrels.

Most of you bastards that show up for the AZ Shoots have shot them...

Fucked you guys, didn't I?...

[Bkolar81]

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.

I have shot so many guns ,I don't even know which ones I have or haven't shot ! LOL ! Senior moment ! 

[Bkolar81]

I went ahead and ordered that Wilson arms fluted barrel.  We will see how it works out.  Thanks for all the help!

 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.

[Bkolar81]

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.

[98Z5V]

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.
