I'm about 3/4's of the way through my AR build and my next step will probably be the barrel. This rifle will be used for target shooting and some predator hunting so I need a barrel that can handle a lot of rounds, be accurate and take some abuse as well.
I was thinking a 16" barrel would be about the right length but since I'm new to the AR world, what else do I need to consider and who, in your opinion, makes a good solid barrel that fits the above qualifications?
