Is this the barrel you wanted yeselk ?? I have that barrel. It needed lapped (a lot) in order to get it to shoot well. It's also a bit heavy.

I highly recommend this barrel instead. Yes, it's much more expensive but I caught the 18" version of this one on sale and paid a lot less than listed in this link. I did lap my barrel once it got to my house and made sure it was clean internally before installing it. I spent much less time getting it to shoot than the Stoner barrel. Plus, it's so much lighter. But, if you are retired and want to spend the time, the Stoner barrel has potential. kwg

Good suggestion on the BA barrel. Every one of them I've see, have shot pretty well. Some better than others, but none of them bad.

I am looking at buying a new barrel but just wondered what it would cost since it is an accurate barrel.

Unless you are simply looking to suppress, I wouldn't waste the time threading just for a FH or brake...just be aware, the AR Stoner barrels can be hit or miss.
