re-barreling the A-10

[Doug in Oregon]

Hey Guys,

There are many really good barrel manufacturers out there. I want to hear from those of you who have actually re barreled their 308 and what kind of accuracy did you get?

What length did you install? Who did you use?

Welcome to the forum.  

I suggest that you start by telling us what you already have and what you are trying to do with the rifle after making a change.  There are 2 main types of 308ARs - DPMS pattern and Armalite AR10 pattern.  The barrel and BCG must be the same pattern but don't necessarily have to be used in the same pattern upper.

Welcome aboard Doug.

I've used Noveske barrels in quite a few of the rifles I've built over the years. Most of them for specific SBR's. Other than that, I've used some Armalite barrels, being an Armalite guy, for some carbines (16") and a couple SASS barrels (20"). Granted the SASS barrels use the Armalite adjustable gas system. But other than that, companies like  ballistic advantage, faxon and of course Daniels makes some very nice barrels.
