Hello all,
I am new to this forum and would like to ask everyone for a big favor in helping me find the right barrel for my pending AR15 build. I have been doing a lot of research for this build and have chosen to go with the 6.8 SPCII or DMR (6.5 Grendel - 2nd choice). I have been contacting virtually all major players (of the 6.8) and so far have not had any luck settling on my purchase. I am very particular about this barrel. Here is what I am looking for:
- 16" barrel length in medium weight.
- 6.8 SPCII or DMR chamber specification.
- M4 profile (with M203 Grenade groove).
- 1-11" or 1-12" twist with 4 grooves/lands.
- Black finish.
- Non-chrome lined (accuracy is my game).
- Muzzle needs to be threaded for the 6.8 standard (I think it is 1/2" - 36 tpi).
So far, only Cardinal Armory and AR15Performance looks promising. I have read so many great things about Tim at Cardinal Armory that I committed to purchasing from him. However, I recently found out about the business situation at Cardinal Armory. I went ahead and gave Cardinal a call anyway, but have yet to receive a response. I fully understand the situation they're in and hope they can straighten it out soon and can take my order. I am sorry to hear these bad things happening to good people. The best way to help Tim is to support his work and purchase from him.
AR15Perfromance was also very helpful and informative. The guy, sorry - forgot his name, educated me about the 6.8 DMR situation. His barrels are a bit too price for me, but if I can't find anything else soon, I will purchase from AR15Performance. This is the reason I am asking for your help. Your recommendations will be much appreciated.
