    18.6" Barrels for AR15

    I see several posts for 18.6" AR barrels from forum users and dealers.

    Are people interested in lower cost barrels ($100-150ish)?

    What type sizes, etc

    We can do other types as well, if there is anough interest.

    We have non-restricted Beretta Storm barrels coming next year

    +1 for me.

    Essentially an 18.5” M16A1 barrel. My preference is rifle length gas system with FSB, or at least make the FSB an available option.

    Take a look at the 18” Faxon Gunner. Just about perfect IMO.

    Lightweight, 18.6 Inch, Rifle length in different calibres would be nice.

    -.223 Wylde (6.5 Grendel would be nice but I won't get my hopes up)
    -1:8 twist or faster
    -Nitrided or chromed would be nice
    -A tapered profile similar to Daniel Defence S2W or Faxon's lightweight barrels. Something lightweight/pencil or slightly heavier.
    -I don't give a #### about fluting, in fact I would prefer to omit it to reduce cost.
    -Gas block journal long enough to fit a fsb (or include w/ a fsb)

    If they still had the 1:9 version in stock I’d consider it.
