mineralman55 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thought I'd try here. Barrels are becoming very scarce. I'm looking for a DPMS-style AR308 barrel, 18", mid or rifle length gas system. Ideally I wanted a Rainer 18" match barrel, but they're out and said they don't know when they'll get them back in stock. PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hit up Fulton Armory yet? 18.5" NM Criterion barrel is in stock, $325. http://www.fulton-armory.com/barrelfatitan185nmmedss1x10936gasblock.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineralman55 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I looked at it. Not a bad option, but I had my heart set on an adjustable gas block, preferably a Syrac, and I can't find an adjustable one with 0.936" ID.

PRI parts are top notch. http://www.precisionreflex.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=186815&CAT=4274 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineralman55 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) In doing more research for a barrel for my SI build, I came across Bison Armory barrels. There have been a few posts here, all favorable. Anyone want to elaborate on their Bison AR308 barrels? Alright, update time. Everything I saw on the net (yes, it's all believable <laughs> ) said the Bison Armory barrels were GTG. That said, I'd decided to go with what was available, a 20". Low and behold, this AM they announced a sale on the barrels. Put the order in by web, so in a week or two it should be here. I asked for it to be black coated. Should be awesome looking.

mineralman55 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Okay, got a Bison Armory 20" AR308 barrel. They were on sale :)) so I thought I'd splurge and get the $40 black Cerekote option (after all, it is a black rifle). Pictures don't do this barrel justice. The machining on it is impeccable. The breech looks as if it was hand finished and polished. Fit with the upper and the Syrac adjustable gas block is perfect. The gas hole is 11" from the lip, so a 12" or longer free float handguard will easily cover the gas block but I'll probably go with a 15" for the longer sight radius. I am really impressed.
