Any sales/year-end deals for budget AR barrel?

[1500varmint]

I have a box of AR parts in the corner so I want to put an AR15 plinker together for my youngest to use when we go plinking at the range. I have everything except a barrel and BCG, so I'd like to pick up the barrel now and get the BCG later, or repurpose an existing one.

I'm kicking myself because I didn't pick this one up when it was available a few weeks ago from Stag Arms for $149:
16 in 5.56 1:9 4140 Carbine Length Gas System Govt Profile Crowned

16 in 5.56 1:9 4140 Carbine Length Gas System Govt Profile Crowned (Chrome & Phos) ASSY

This classic Stag AR-15 barrel assembly chambered in 5.56 is ready to be put to work on your favorite mil-spec upper.

Anyone have a link to a good deal on a 16 inch .223/5.56 barrel????

Thanks.

If you’re not above a pin and weld, Davidson’s has the MMC socom barrels back in stock for $229

I would be very tempted to look for a mid length gas system for a 16" barrel. For years I used carbine length, as we all did, but since I discovered how much smoother mid length is I don't expect to go back if I can avoid it.

Thanks for the link Jsp. I'll keep it as a backup.

I have no objections to a pin/weld, but I don't have an extra brake or a welding machine, so the cost creeps up incrementally.

Thanks Downtown. Yes, mid length would be great, but for a cheapskate franken-build beggars can't be choosers!!

These are their normal prices, but Green Mountain makes great barrels for the money:

Also a fluted 18" with Rifle length gas system that should be very soft recoiling:

Thanks for sharing.

They have several barrels that look interesting, though several are out of stock.

I'm fighting between the impulse to buy one NOW so I can have fun and put together, and on the other side the cheapskate in me is saying wait.

You may have missed the holiday sales, but I suspect there will be another run on parts when Biden takes office and starts talking gun control. If you see something that jumps out at you, it might not be a bad time to buy, just in case...

If you're not afraid of a pin & weld job, you might consider one of these 14.5" barrels from Columbia River Arms' overstock. I was planning on ordering one until I got a Black Friday deal on a Wilson Combat 14.7".

Man, that’s a great deal on those 14.5 barrels. I have an extra upper laying around and a handguard.......oh crap, I think I’m going to build another upper!

That's a good one too.

I was initially planning on going with an A2 look, but not sure how that would look with the stainless barrel.

true but they do get them in frequently so add the alert. Really like them for a cheaper alternative. I've done a few 308 builds with their barrels and saw no difference in accuracy between these and BA barrels I've used. I believe they use green mountain blanks

From the search I did a few years ago, I believe they use Green Mountain blanks for their barrels. Good quality stuff, and they're local to me in SoCal. I've had good experiences with their parts.

Any barrel is better than no barrel, but if you want any kind of performance always get the highest quality you can afford.
