    Larue, BCM, or White Oak 16" barrel?

    I was considering either a Larue Stealth 16" complete upper, or building a 16" mid-length with a BCM 16" 1/8 SS410 or a White Oak 16" 1/8 w/ a Wylde Chamber.

    Would the BCM or White Oak barrels be close to the 3/4 MOA accuracy that the Larue is capable of?

    Yes, also consider Noveske, Centurion, Rainier Arms UltraMatch, or one turned by Compass Lake Engineering.

    Hard to go wrong with any of your choices.

    What sort of optic will you be running, and what is the primary mission of this carbine?

    Yes on both, with match ammo or match reloads and a good shooter.

    I will be using a 1-4x24 Trijicon Accupoint until my 1-8x24 S&B comes in. I will be using it as a patrol rifle, and for punching paper from 100 - 300M with 62gr and 77gr (50/50).

    I wanted the most accurate 16" SS barrel that is currently available. I am trying to decide between 1/7 or 1/8 twist; and Wylde or 5.56 NATO Match chamber.

    Would the Larue Stealth and the BCM 16" SS410 be about the same for accuracy?

    I'll probably go with the BCM 16" 1/8 SS410 mid-length Barrel, a BCM auto/ion-bond BCG, a mid-length VLTOR VIS, and a GG&G Bolt On Flip Up Front Sight / Gas Block System.

    I just wanted to make sure I was making the best choice on the barrel...

    IMO,If you are going to be using it for duty use I would look into a pinned gas block, not a bolt on.

    Too many opportunities where a good blow could cause a problem.


    Edit: Looking for a gas block/flip up thats pinned this might be a way to go!

    I know GG&G doesn't get the respect that some of the top stuff does but in my experience, their stuff is very well designed and sturdy.
    never push a wrench...
