I agree with GF,
If you have a limited budget have a perfect gun with spare barrels, as opposed to multiple guns with average components.
Lilja lists the weight difference between fluted and non-fluted. You pay $100 for almost no weight saving. Up to you but I won't do it again.
Kreiger, Bartlein and Lilja are all Olympic-grade barrel makers. The likelihood a barrel from them will be a hummer is high, and a dud low. For other manufacturers you might get a hummer but the likelihood is less so it's all a gamble with predictable odds.
18-20 inches is a good compromise length for an AR in this calibre. Lilja's 319 is actually 18.8" so closer to 19".
