[Mr.Culper]

Looking MD compliant AR15 5.56 (or 223/5.56) barrel,
16" , 1x8 (or possibly 1x7), Basic barrel - nothing fancy or expensive.

Just not seeing anything in stock

Have you tried Hanover Armory. Their FB page shows inventory.

Not knowing where you're located hinders suggestions, but have you tried Tactical Shepherd in Rising Sun. Usually have a good selection of ARs and all other firearms in stock as well as ammo.

 

[Mr.Culper]

Sorry, Southern PG

Stag is made by Ballistic Advantage/ Aero Precision now. Great stuff for the money. I used STAG5 coupon code for 5% off a while back.

You can and should do better than Bear Creek Arsenal.

Dumb question:
You should not shoot 5.56 out of a 233 chambered barrel,, But it is ok the to shoot 223 out of a 5.56 barrel?
So a 5.56 chambered barrel can safely shoot 223 AND 5.56,, so why the need for a 233 Wylde Barrel?

Yes.

.223 wylde is basically a 5.56 chamber that engages the rifling sooner, like a standard .223 chamber.

I've found no appreciable difference for the average joe. Get 5.56 or .223 Wylde and shoot anything that'll feed.

5.56 has the longest 'lead'(gap before rifling starts)

Wilde has a shorter lead, but is Okay to shoot 5.56

.223 has the least amount of lead and can cause higher chamber pressures so always recommended you don't shoot 5.56 through them. I have mic'd a few varieties of AR chambers and found short leads in 5.56 chambers and longer leads in .223 chambers, so take that for what it's worth. Always check your chamber's lead (or throat) if you want to be sure.

Take a look at the Windham Weaponry HBC. They build a nice gun also.
