Building an Ar. Finished I'd like an 18'' barrel with a flat top upper. Probably going to put a Low power scope on it. Will be used for some hunting. Probably a medium profile.
Where should I be looking for a decent barrel? Can be stainless.
I wouldn't mind buying a whole upper, but I've kind of started this as a buy parts and then put them all together deal.

+1 Best bang for your buck. White Oak and Noveske are my top choices short of having a custom barrel turned.

If I was in the market for a top flight medium contour 18" barrel I would call Satern Machine and order one of thier cut rifle barrels in the SPR contour. They aren't the cheapest by far but they make an extremely accurate barrel. Krieger is a great choice too but I don't think they have a SPR contour. Bullets aren't cheap anymore, you might as well make'm count. Terry

White oak supplies a good deal of high power shooters, I've gotten barrels from them before, tac drivers.

Black Hole Weaponry or Hart. White Oak is fine, IF you want one of THEIR standard profiles. When I wanted a custom contour, he (John) said there'd be a 5 barrel minimum. Never used Noveske, but they have some type of affiliation with Pac Nor who is excellent. Black Hole Weaponry and Hart have made me single custom barrels. They were both excellent to deal with and produced barrels that shoot VERY well.

Shilen makes some great AR Barrel and you should go to their web site and see what they have available
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.
