I am looking for a replacement barrel for my AR-10 in .308. I need a threaded barrel in 5/8 x 24 TPI. 16 - 20" length.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

POF*USA uses the Rock Creek barrels and they're one of the best.

Re: Suggestions for a new AR10 barrel

Noveske is always talked of highly

+1.
I own 3 Noveske barrels and they are all shooters. Extremely durable as well. They cost a bit more up front, but they are actually cheaper over the life of the barrel because they can continue to accurately shoot long after most are burned out.
Check out their 308 here:

I wish they would do 6.5 Grendel barrels, but alas they don't...

Noveske .308 barrels are almost always out of stock and come with a very long wait. Complete .308 rifles are taking 6 months plus, so good luck getting a barrel.

Re: Suggestions for a new AR10 barrel
Actually I called them today and the 21" barrels are a ways out but they might have some 18" ones coming in soon.

Rainier arms often has Noveske barrels in stock, it might be worth a check.

I have had good luck with Krieger barrels, but I think you would have to get someone to thread it. Accuracy has been top notch out of the 2 semi auto barrels that I have from them.

Re: Suggestions for a new AR10 barrel
I just got in a rainier arms ultramatch barrel made from shilen blanks.
18 inch, lightweight as hell, I look forward to getting it mounted and running it next month.
i'll post an update when i get a chance.

Re: Suggestions for a new AR10 barrel
I'd have to agree with JamesBailey. I have a Noveske barrel on my Armalite and it shoots great all day long, long after most 308's I have lost accuracy due to copper fowling. After a day of shooting it cleans up easy too. I can't attest to barrel life, but i'm sure it's great to!!! You just can't go wrong with polygonal rifling

Re: Suggestions for a new AR10 barrel
Thanks for all the input, I appreciate it. I did talk to Noveske abput their barrels and beleive I am going to go with a 18" threaded version.
Super nice folks, I will be waiting for the development of a switch block for the .308 which maybe a while but it will be worth the wait. The whole reason that I started looking for a barrel was to mount my suppressor on a differenet upper. My current upper is blowing primers and/or soot all over my 24" gap AR10.
The new upper will have a heavy buffer and spring (suggested by Noveske) to slow down the cycle to help with the extra pressure from the can.
That is my plan for now.

The 21" has the rifle length tube.
I"ll guess I will find out if it smooths out or not.

Before spending any money on a new barrel, I would figure out why you are having issues with your current setup. Have you talked to GAP about this? Armalite sells an adjustable gasblock system for the AR10 platform.
It would suck to spend $500 on a new barrel and have the same thing happen.
