If you are just having fun... do a PSA. Barrel should last you a good long while 3k+ rounds or so. Very cost effective.
If you plan to really abuse the gun get a better barrel. I forget, but maybe it was Shaw?
Couple of friends were bragging on a particular brand holding up very well after 10k-15k rounds. Anyone help me out here?
I do recall the barrel was 3 times more expensive than most.
I'll get back to this after I talk to Chris and Tycen.

I've built a ton of guns with cheap Green Mountain blanks... vast majority of these guns will never see 2k rounds... fantastic accuracy for $100 blanks... they just don't last forever.
It might have been a Noveske CHF chrome lined barrel… they advertise that they’re built to M249 SAW specs.
To the OP, whatever you do, don’t waste a bunch of money on a high end lower… it’s just a box to hold the trigger group and magazine. The only thing you get out of a name on a lower is bragging rights (assuming the cheaper lower meets the most basic specs for pin alignment, etc)
