    18" Rifle Length Gas Barrel Options?

    I'm slowly acquiring components for an SPR-ish build but it seems that 18" rifle length gas barrels are usually out of stock. I'm hoping for 1.5-2 moa accuracy at 400-600 yards using factory match ammunition, so is there anything from the following list you guys would avoid? They're all within $100 or so of each other, so I'm pretty much going to buy whatever becomes available first.

    BCM SS410 18"

    Centurion Arms MK12

    Noveske 18" SPR (intermediate gas)

    White Oak Armament SPR

    Rainier UltraMatch SPR

    JP Supermatch 18"

    Is there anything else that I'm missing that might be considered worth the money and/or wait time?

    Black Hole makes some decent ones.

    Shot yesterday. 50 VMAX at 100 over AA 2015. 20" standard barrel.

    The new Rainier Arms Mountain Series CHF barrels can do that.

    You can't go wrong with any of those options. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but Rainier has the UltraMatch 18" Intermediate in stock and Midway has the Noveske SPR w/ switchblock.

    I wanted Noveske for mine, but I found the Rainier UltraMatch in stock a few months ago, so I jumped on it. My 18" Rainier UltraMatch Intermediate shoots ~1 MOA with Mk262 and .6-.7 MOA w/ 77gr handloads, which are still in development. I'm shooting for .5 MOA in the end.

    Hey Greg since you are a pro staff shooter and operate 2 forums for Black Hole I think you are required to state you are affiliated with them in your sig line.
    We wouldn't want everyone here to think you are just a satisfied customer would we?

    I don't see those listed on his site, is that a custom order item?

    Are there any other sources for cut rifled 18" barrels with a sensible (I.e. not hbar) profile?

    They pop up when the blanks are in-stock. Give them a call. The website isn't the best.
