Medium contour 18-20" midlength Cut-rifled SS barrel, who to go with? - mtn_shooter - 07-12-2012
I'll be in the market very soon for a new barrel for my Grendel AR-15. This time I want to go the cut-rifled route. Light-medium contour (maybe a fluted medium), SS 18-20". And obviously threaded at the muzzle (9/16-24 or 5/8-24).
Not really concerned with wait times unless it's over 6 months. Just really want it to be a tack driver, and would like to keep it under $550.
Unfortunately I'm not really familiar with who all does pre-fit 6.5 Grendel AR15 barrels anymore, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

templar customs, satern. I know you can get cut rifled from those Im sure some others will chime in.

My only advise would be to thread it 5/8-24.

Why thread it at all? Wouldn't a target crown be more appropriate for a tack driver?

I already have a WCI brake and it did not negatively affect accuracy on my current barrel. I trust with a proper barrel thread it will not on the new barrel. And of course if I ever got into suppressors the option is nice to have. I have a small lathe and can make my own thread protectors should I decide against a muzzle device.
Thank you for the reply, Mark.

+1 for Templar. That's the route I'm going on my next build and Bob is a hell of a nice guy.

That was always my thought also, but I have tested enough Krieger barrels with and without flash hiders on my Service Rifles that I now consider it a non factor. They all shoot .5MOA or better irrespective. I use a post ban (target crown) now on all my new barrels but that is simply to make the cleaning of the crown easier.
