Been off this forum for a looooong time, but glad to be back!!!
Down to business - I just picked up an old m16a1 parts kit & I'm in need of a 20" pencil profile barrel.
I could go with a stripped barrel as the kit came with the FSB & have a gunsmith install it, but I'd rather get one that has the FSB installed from the factory.
I know most places are currently out of stock on just about everything, but I dont know where to try to get one from.
I was going to use retrorifles.com but they dont have very good reviews, they dont take phone calls & are out of stock.
JSE surplus has the option for exactly the one I'm looking for, but it's out of stock too, but I can backorder it. Should I do this?
I thought brownells had one of their own making, but I can't find it on thier website.
Can't find one on gunbroker either, other than an original one for $850+.
Also, I'm not too picky on the twist rate either.
Lastly, I'd much prefer a phosphate finish over nitride & chrome plating is not a requirement either.
Can someone steer me in the right direction? Who have you guys dealt with successfully?
I'm leaning towards back ordering the one on JSE.
