I'm building a .308 on a MA TEN reciever set and looking for some info on barrels. I'd like to send the upper reciever in and have the barrel assembled and installed so I don't have to worry about headspacing etc... The rifle is going to be for long range bench and prone shooting so weight is not really a huge concern.

You'll probably want an 18" pipe at least...most of the better smiths will have or/ can get what you need.Just off the top I would try GA Precision, they do great work and build those 308 AR's.

Well, what info are you looking for? Length? Twist?

Re: .308 semi auto barrel
Sorry I should have been more specific. I know I want a 22" 1:11 stainless barrel, I wanted to get some ideas of where to send the receiver/bolt to have the upper assembled. I feel more comfortable having the barrel installed by a smith. Just looking to hear from others that have done this.

Re: .308 semi auto barrel
Rainier Arms sells their Ultramatch barrels and they will headspace it for you if you buy the bolt from them too. The barrels they sell are made from <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Krieger</span> Shilen blanks. I think they sell 20" and 24". You could have a 24" cut to 22". Lilja also sells AR barrels in .308. He has two basic contours heavy and light. But again, he doesn't have 22" barrels; just 20" and 24". You may be able to get what you want from White Oak Armament. Give em a call.

I am having (3) 18.5" 1:11.25 Rock Creek 5-R blanks G-smithed matched to JP enhanced bolts for my MA-TEN build and 2 other folks.
I worked out a decent deal on both the barrels/G-smith work if you are interested shoot me a PM. I am considering offering it to the folks who particpated in my Mega group buy that just closed and possibly as a group buy

I've decided on a 24 in barrel & was planning on getting it crowned but I got to shoot a 308 Miculek comp & loved it so now i'm split on getting my barrel threaded. I was planning on getting a Krieger but the lead time is 5+ months , so now i'm thinking Rainier or Black Hole Weaponry ...any thoughts ?

JTZsHooters - Thanks for the correction. I researched barrels from Ranier awhile ago and I went from memory which was wrong. I changed my original post

I think the barrel in that link is exactly what you want.
