224 Valkyrie barrel, 1/6 or 1/6.5 twist in Canada?

[8 ball]

Hello all, as per above I am looking for a 224 Valkryie AR barrel over 18.5 inches long with a 6.5 or 6 inch rate of twist. Preferably something in Canada, but willing to import if need be. I have found a few barrels in the country, but they are all too slow of twist for what I am wanting. Does anyone know of anything currently in stock in Canada that meets my desires?

I just spoke with Ryan at IBI today and they have what you need.
I just have to find dies and brass. Going to check with Gary at Bighorn Sales first.

Keep us posted. I imported a 1/7 that is showing promise but wouldn't mind building another upper with tighter twist.

Is the Valkyrie just for long range target shooting or do people have plans to hunt with them?
Just going to run 80+ grain projectiles?
Interesting round (especially in an AR) but seems very specific on what weight projectile it will work with and also a total waste of time and barrel life shooting it at under 300 yards.

Can order dies from Brownells. Not sure if Forster is making them yet but they also ship direct. My local shop has been sticking Hornady factory 88s or irunguns can bring in Federal.

I am going to order a second barrel for another upper from ibi but I am having trouble finding an extended gas system. It should have at least a +2 but I would like a +3 for a 26 inch barrel. Anyone aware of a source in Canada or am I going to have to import one? Doesn't look like Brownells carries anything other than the standard length gas tubes.
