Who makes the best 7.62x39 AR15 barrel? Preferrably M-4 profile, but not absolutely necessary. Chrome lined?

Ok then, I'm going to order one from Model 1 Sales, does anyone own one of these and can you tell me if it has standard threads on the muzzle or something else?

I have the m1s (model 1 sales) barrel in a 20". I cant recall the thread pitch but I remember the it was the same pitch as a 9mm ar barrel. I went with the vortex fh, but their are a few others. They do come in 16" as well and both are hbar's.
If you plan to shoot wolf ammo get the 7.62 bolt from MGI. This is a must have! I know $125 is a not cheap for a bolt but well worth it. I bought both and the M1S bolt would not work on most of the wolf ammo I am using, swaped out to the MGI and it was 100%. Good luck! These things are fun as hell when you get them to run well. Mine is fianlly there after about 4-500 rnds. Just keep in mind Wolf = dirty...

See above for the link to the MGI bolt.
If anyone has any info in any barrels other than the M1S barrels please post. I'd like to build myself something with a M4 profile also, or just something lighter than the hbar's...

Just the bolt not the whole carrier right? thinking about getting a Fulton Armory upper with charging handle on the bolt carrier.

Also, what is the best length for the 7.62x39? I'm thinking of getting an 18". I'm wanting best accuracuy out of this thing.

No shiT. I've never heard of such a thing. I'm thinking about a 7.62 upper too.
