    Anyone still do 5.45 barrels?

    I am on the hunt for a 5.45 upper and cant locate anything.. so now onto barrels. I cant locate those either...except from Moriarti Arms (?) and Anonymous Arms...two of which I have never heard of in this space.
    Any info greatly appreciated. Thank you-

    I had one a few years back with a Ballistic Advantage barrel on it. It was not chrome lined, but nitrided instead. That led to stuck cartridge cases in the chamber once it got hot. Obviously steel-cased ammo, as there is no brass 5.45 fodder that I know of.

    S&W made chrome lined barrels for their M&P 5.45 carbines.

    Seemed like a decent barrel when I had a 5.45 upper a few years ago. Never had any issues and it shot decent groups.

    Won't argue that but sometimes you have to "dance with the devil" to get what you want. It isn't like BCM, DD or KAC are making any.
