Any leads on AR15 barrels?

I started building two ARs before all the nonsense started and instead of being irresponsible with my money, I decided to take my time and order pieces when I had the extra money. Well thanks to some fucking nutjob, AR parts are few and far between. One is for myself and the other is for my dad. The one for myself is nearly complete. I am having trouble finding a 20 or 24" stainless bull barrel for my dads. If anyonbe knows where there are some lurking around, please let me know.

Thanks
 
Re: Any leads on AR15 barrels?

I can't find any either. I need an extra BCG as well, and can find them, only they're $300+ at the moment. Can't wait for this ridiculousness to end.
 
Re: Any leads on AR15 barrels?

I'm in the same boat so I feel your pain. Was in the middle of my build before that ass-clown in CT. Looking for a BCG and gas block. Guess mine will be sitting on the back burner for a while until prices aren't MSRP + 125%. And then there's trying to find ammo once it's complete.... sigh.

Not exactly a bull barrel, but but it is a 20" BCM SS410 and should be plenty accurate. They will go fast . . .

Check with Lothar Walther. Many of the bigger brand names use his blanks for their barrels. Very good barrels, very accurate, and the AR barrels come with a matched bolt.

may be easier to find barrel nuts then buy a blank and have a smith turn it/drill GP for you.
 
Re: Any leads on AR15 barrels?

Call Black Hole Weaponry and see if they have any in stock. I'd say go for ARP but he just sold out. Crazy stuff going on out there...

thanks for the link. just ordered a couple of their 16" chf mid length barrels...score!
 
Re: Any leads on AR15 barrels?

I feel your pain. I plan to stop being responsible since that seems to be the way this country is going, so I am gonna buy whatever I find as soon as I find it! Hopefully all the components excluding lowers will surface again soon.
 
Re: Any leads on AR15 barrels?

Thanks for the links. I am leaning towards the Black Hole barrels. Dad is pretty picky and wants the bull barrel (varmint type rig). I think I can handle a 6-12 week wait.
 
Re: Any leads on AR15 barrels?

Rainier did have their ultra match 18" mid in stock. I went ahead and ordered one since I missed out on the match SPR just before Christmas. It's a shilen blank so i have high hopes for it in terms of accuracy.

Get on their mailing list to be notified when they are in stock. Be quick on ordering, they go fast.
 
Re: Any leads on AR15 barrels?

I was lucky enough to snag a DPMS mini SASS barrel from midwayUSA a couple days before xmas. Now they are sold out with NO BACKORDER.
 
Re: Any leads on AR15 barrels?

BCM restocked several of their barrels. I know they have the 14.5 light weights in stock.
 
Re: Any leads on AR15 barrels?

I'd also be careful ordering from Rainier right now at least when it comes to their line of barrels...I'm a big fan of Rainier as I've purchased from them in the past and they have always been good on my orders but they are obviously overwelmed right now as I just had my order come in today that I placed on the 21st and the "match" barrel they sent me is nothing but an expensive paper weight....it has a huge gouge going down one of the lands for the entire length of the barrel as well as other imperfections. There was obviously a complete lack of QC on this barrels production as if anyone looked down the barrel they would have seen how fucked up it was. I'm sure they will make this right and refund me but it is the lack of QC on their trademark barrel that bothers me. Even if they are swamped they shouldn't dump QUALITY CONTROL!!!. I think this is the 1st and the last time I take a chance with one of their barrels because of the lack of QC this time around, I absolutely HATE sending stuff back.
