LMT is the obvious first stop in quality barrels, but they only sell them as part of a complete upper these days. Same goes for Noveske.
Either way, if you deduct the cost of a CMT upper, the barrel alone would be about $385 ($485 complete upper - $100 CMT upper price = $385 barrel).
CMMG barrels are $250-$300 and they say they are MPI (although I think they're only batch) and no mention of HPT.
Sabre Defence barrels, while a good quality barrel, are batch HPT/MPI.
And we all know that BM, RRA, etc. only batch test, if at all, their barrels.
So is there any option for a standalone barrel that is HPT and MPI?
