shooterrex Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I used Balastic Advantage for my rebarrel. I wanted a shorter barrel though. 16". Any barrel designed for a DPMS pattern receiver will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOGeologist Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 A suggestion on this: I have had two barrels on my AR-308, a 16" bull barrel from DPMS, which seemed capable of producing sub MOA groups with some ammo, and an 18" Faxon Big Gunner, which seems to be a little worse performing. Use a shim, if your barrel's sloppy in the upper. Refer to the JP Rifles thermofit video on YouTube to see how it can be fitted. Consider a heavy profile barrel; it will be like handling a tank turret, but if your goal is accuracy above all, then the thicker profile seems to prevent whip from wrecking your accuracy. I would also stick with 18" (preferably 20" +) to retain as much velocity as possible. Get a numbered drill bit and identify the gas port diameter, if it doesn't match 98's list, drill it out.

Very insightful. Thank you for your addition to this conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
