I intend to build an accurate 12.5" 5.56.
I'd like to build a carbine length, 1:7.5", 12.5", fluted, nitrided barrel. However, I don't want to spend $400+ on a barrel.
12.5" fluted and nitride is the critical options.
Anyways, I got to looking at the WOA 16" SDM Barrel (https://www.whiteoakarmament.com/xcart/p...250&page=3). I thought I would get it cut down to 12.5" and nitrided with the Grendel GB. So it'd be just over $400.
In my research for the proper specs for a 12.5" middy, MicroMoa pointed out their barrel which comes with a sub MOA guarantee, meets my critical specs, and runs significantly less ($250).
WOA barrels are suppose to be among the best, but are they really worth that much more than another guaranteed sub MOA barrel?
