I'm hoping to get some ideas on where I can get a new barrel for a Bushmaster BR308 (basically LR308). I've had 416 and LW50 stainless barrels on my precision guns. I've also had nitrided/melonited 4150 CMV barrels on my AR and HK builds. What I'm wondering is, does anyone make a nice 4150 CMV match-grade 308 AR barrel that I could get melonited?
New barrel needed; what to get?

Re: New barrel needed; what to get?
The bushmaster is 100% DPMS barrel right?
If so I'd just get a stainless drop in. There are several for 300 or so out there that shoot pretty well.
I guess you could get a douglas or other chromoly barrel or blank and have it finished and melonited but by that time...might as well get a high quality stainless barrel imo.
FWIW I think ar15performance has a 308 barrel that is melonited...it is a very very lightweight profile though not something I am in favor of.
