    Completely agree. The SIONICS barrel is arguably the best barrel for the buck around.

    I would go with the melonited medium contour Sionics barrel Iraqgunz recommended to you above.

    Nitride, when done to carbon steels, results in very corrosion resistant as well as very hard, durable surfaces. IMHO, stainless steels are a poorer choice for salt bath nitriding processes because the different elements in the stainless alloys result in reduced corrosion resistance, as well as lower heat resistance that's inherent in the underlying steel. Nitrided stainless means more expense for a poorer performing product. Why bother to nitride stainless when CM/CMV steels are less expensive, stronger, more resistant to heat, last longer, and more corrosion resistant after nitride.

    I run an AR Performance .223 Wylde barrel on one of my guns. I really like it and at $210 it's a pretty good deal.

    However, I wouldn't shy away from the Sionics barrels either.

    I don't like that their barrels use a different thread pattern

    ARP? They use standard 1/2-28 for muzzle threads on the 16'' like everyone else:

    Oh crap thanks that's exactly what I wanted all the rest of their barrels use a 308 pattern muzzle device except that one thanks I missed that one what kind of accuracy have you seen
