I'm currently looking for a barrel for my Grendel build. I have an Aero Precision M4E1 upper/lower combo, and I've decided on a 20" barrel. I still need a bolt for by build, and I'd prefer to get the barrel and bolt from the SAME mfg since I dont have headspace gauges. The first barrel recommended to me was Proof Research, but they dont appear to offer bolts so I thought about getting this one...

However, their website state it takes 12-weeks to receive it and I'm not very patient. I was also recommended barrels from Ballistic Advantage and ODIN Works. Both of their 20" offerings are less expensive than the Noveske, however the BA barrel is currently out of stock so I'd be waiting on that one as well. This leaves the Odin Works as the only choice (so far) to get a barrel immediately.
Is the Noveske worth the 3 month wait? Should I hold out for the BA (they DO offer a 1st Responder discount)? Are there any other choices I should be looking at? How important is geadspacing when buying bolt from different mfg than barrel?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
