I've started a build and I'm trying to source a 16" threaded barrel with a mid-length gas system and a 1 in 7 twist. I already have a low profile gas block on order so I don't want something with a FSB already on it.

These seem to be made of unobtainium up here. I have found stainless ones from Alberta Tactical Rifle Supply but having to ship out my bolt for custom fitting would be a pain and I don't really need a match grade barrel for what I'm planning to do with it (3Gun and other various screwing around), so I'd prefer just a milspec barrel.

Anyone know of a Canadian supplier that might have these? Looking at the site sponsors + Google Fu has been full of fail.

If I can't find it up here my current plan is to go through the paperwork of getting export approval to order one from Brownell's.
 
NEA is your best bet, but they're all out of stock right now. Mind you, you want 16. The NEA midlength offering is 18". Their barrels are fantastic though. 1.25" groups at 100 yds for $267 is tough to beat...

Thought of it but they've been out of stock for eternity.
 
Fabsports had some Spikes CHF 16" midlength barrels a couple weeks ago, you could inquire with them about whether anymore will be available.
 
You can get a 14.5" from CTCS

Might be an option... was hoping to go 16" though so that I could take it to the US some day without having to pin/weld on my compensator.

Although it doesn't say, some research reveals that barrel is from Palmetto State Armory and is by FN... good stuff.
