Barrel suggestions - nboost - 12-28-2011

I ordered my upper receiver from AA and now I am searching for a barrel. AA is out of stock and I'm not sure when they will have them back in. I'm looking to spend no more than $550-$600 for the barrel and bolt. Do you guys recommend a supplier that can get me a barrel relatively quick? I don't mind waiting a little while, but I want a good barrel.

You can order the satern barrel right from midway also. Rifle cut barrels are the way to go.

I'm seriously looking at Templer Custom. http://templarcustom.com/ His barrels are getting good reviews, and he answered my email inquiry on a weekend. I believe I read he is using Bartlein blanks, but I am not positive, as I didn't ask.

Here is a picture of the barrel I ordered from Dan at McGowen. 6.5 BPC

Let us know how it shoots with 123gr Hornady AMAX factory loads. Looks like a decent barrel.

As to Templar, yes, they are using Bartlein blanks, and had a bunch that were progressive-rifled.
