New member in need of assistance

[twilson]

This is my first AR build and I need help finding a barrel that meets these specs (combination of personal preference and state compliance):

-16"
-.223 wylde
-Cold hammer forged or CMV
-Mid length gas system
-Socom or heavy barrel (can be fluted)
-1:9 twist

Any and all help appreciated!!

Engage Armament has White Oak barrels that meet most of those specs (not sure about CHF or CMV) and they're 1:8 IIRC but they're great durable barrels.

Pretty sure a SOCOM barrel profile will not pass muster... has to be a heavy barrel unless you are building on a pre 2013 lower...

If you're near Essex, Blue Fins has parts/barrels/crush washers, gas blocks, etc. Never shopped there but I know they have them, seen their stuff at a few shows.

Welcome to MDS. As for barrel choices, You'll be better served with a 1:8. It will give you the best of both worlds, handling the shorter(lighter) varmint type bullets while still stabilizing the longer, heavier target bullets as well. I guess it all comes down to what role your rifle will fill.

Welcome.

Enjoy your stay.

You've already gotten solid barrel advice so I won't jump on.
