blue109 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Putting a AR together for a family member who just got out of the coast guard. since this rifle will spend most of its life as a desert plinker I'm not worried about spending a ton. Found mossberg barrels for $129 ($145 shipped) 1/7 5.56 melonite inside and out. still deciding on a handguard but hope to have it together soon. very curious to see if this thing shoots. Can't find too much info online that's not suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Sounds like a good budget option for a plinker. Would you mind sharing your source? Thanks! -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I don't know about their AR barrels but Mossberg makes a LOT of shotgun barrels, which people then market as their own product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Its not marked mossberg. Just 5.56 1/7 on the muzzle inc. would be easy to rebrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet...might be something to consider when I start making uppers & lowers. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Not only shotgun, as Jon said already - Mossy makes a lot of rifle barrels for other companies, too. All the "base model" barrels on the Zel Custom AR large caliber bolt uppers are Mossberg barrels, since that company started making those uppers. Mossy makes a good rifle barrel - bet the thing shoots very well. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
