AR Barrel hunt

[x1eric]

First AR build and I'm on the upper, but having a some problems really finding what I'm looking for. Maybe you guys could offer some suggestions or companies im not aware of.
I plan on using a YHM 12" free float gaurd still not sure which model either diamond or lightweight with a low-pro gas block. I need a barrel with the M4 extension b/c most of the recievers im looking at have the M4 feed ramps, its down to a Spikes, YHM, BCM, or Vltor MUR1 just b/c it looks badass.

Here's what im looking for
16" barrel
Mid length Gas system
M4 extension
lightweight or a standard profile, just not a heavy barrel
twist rate doesnt really bother me
Id like to stay under $300 for a stripped barrel.

I have found only a few companies that have a 16" midlength gas system, everything is a carbine gas length.
I have email stock alerts for BCM,Daniel Defense, and a few others. I really dont want to sit around with an incomplete rifle for months waiting on a barrel.

So fire away guys.
Thanks!

Stay with either a BCM or DD Barrel. Check some other sites for those barrels instead of direct. Its really hard to find barrels in LW 14.5-16" these days.

Yep, what goteron said. Looks like you're on the right track.

Sucks to have to wait around on stock, I know. But if you want quality and the specifics you've laid out, it's part of the "game".

Not sure about DD, but BCM has been excellent in the past of giving you "estimated stocking times" when you call in. And they were accurate, too. It never hurts to call, if you're OCD like me.

See if MSTN has a Noveske N4 barrel in stock.
