any opinions on what barrel to drop in one of my ARs to gain a little accuracy? 16", preferably 1:7 twist, 1:8 would work too. already threaded, no flash hider installed.

I have had two noveskes and both shot better than I could.

Can only speak of the Noveske I own, but it's a shooter and would buy another, without hesitation.

All good recommendations so far. Add BCM SS410 to the list as well. May be tough to catch them in stock right now...

I have a Daniel Defense 16" 1:7 twist. Paid $225 and am very happy with it.

With the way things are now I'd be scared to be burning off ammo in 2013 like I have in the past..... I see barrel life skyrocketing.
 
Re: best drop in AR15 barrel for the money?

I have several of the above mentioned barrels and all are great. The best out of the lot for accuracy i tried was Lilja.
 
Re: best drop in AR15 barrel for the money?

I have a 18" SPR WOA barrel that shoots like a house afire
