Since the 6.8SPC was my first AR purchase, I have some questions for those in the know about .223 / 5.56 AR barrels.
I'd like to build another AR with a 5.56 barrel, preferably with a chrome lined chamber and bore.
If I went the CAR length, all I would need is the barrel as it would just require swapping out the unknown 6.8SPC 1:10 barrel in a second upper sitting here and buying a new BCG. Mid length would require new handguards or a FF plus a gas tube and BCG. CAR length requires the least amount of spending but for around $100 more I could get a brand new RRA Mid Length upper with the BCG.
My problem...
I originally ordered a Mid Length RRA upper from a dealer on ARFCom but my bank refused to cash the check from out of state. Had no idea a bank could do that so I'll have to bite the bullet and get a credit card it seems. Trying to swap even up for a 5.56 upper here locally didn't pan out either.
Who sells quality CAR or Mid Length Chrome lined 5.56 barrels and has them in stock ?
Bravo Company has decent prices on BCG so that's covered but I have no clue which manufacturer to get a barrel from.
Any help is appreciated.
