VKTR currently has their 10.5 and 16 inch fluted cold hammer forged barrels on sale for $135. Shipping is $15 and they didn't charge tax. I grabbed a 16 inch. They're nitride treated and come with a pin on gas block.

Caveat is they warn of a long lead time on shipping, but I'm in no hurry. Paul Leitner-Wise is one of the people behind VKTR and his products are always innovative. I want to try one of their bolt carriers at some juncture.
