thank you very much for the suggestion. i took a look at their barrels, and didnt even understand what i was looking at. i have tons to learn. would i be able to call them and tell them exactly what i want, and get a price then? i would like a 26 inch barrel in 1/8 twist for your standard .223/5.56. i dont understand this .223 wylde and all that other stuff.

chamber types....
.223 : means exactly that. Don't EVEN think about firing 5.56 brassed cartridges through a barrel chambered for .223!
.223 Wylde: Splits the difference between 5.56 and .223 chamber dimensions so that you can safely fire higher pressure loads.
5.56 : Is what it is , heh. You can fire .223 cartridges through these as well as 5.56 military pressure loads.... BUT, depending on who made the barrel you may, or may not, experience case bulge or popped primers due to excessive, for that cartridge, chamber pressures.
This is a layman's explanation not a technical one.

Got stuck with a stainless Mini-14 as my first patrol carbine. HATED that thing!
Was sooooo glad when the PD I was working for switched to Colts.

I would strongly recommend looking at the 1in8" twist SS410 barrels from Bravo Company. My is a certifiable tack driver.
