Pick one and move on...PERIOD!

All of the aforementioned barrels are of exceptional quality, especially the Krieger, LW and Bartlein barrels. I know that LBC makes some of the most accurate semi-autos on the market in my experience with several different samples, but I have no idea what mfg's blanks they are starting with aside from the fact that they are cut rifled, 5-groove, 416-R SS match blanks that LBC works over. As for the Krieger...just be prepared that if you aren't working with a smith that has inventory available, or you don't already have a barrel in the pipeline if coming direct from Krieger...you could be waiting a long, LONG time to get it in hand. Worth the wait...yes...but depending on your timeframe for this build you may want to look elsewhere (and who knows...CA may have banned everything down to and including waterproof matches by then).
