I am looking to build an AR upper. I want something for 3 gun shooting. Does anybody have a barrel recommendation?
I've shot a ton of 3 Gun in the past 25 years with a pretty good level of success, I'm old, and if I were to start again I would get a standard weight 20" 556 barrel. Non-chrome lined stainless. I would probably run without a muzzle brake but if I just had to have one I would look at a Dragons Head or a Miculek as I have run both. The DH is not as aesthetic but it is efficient.
I would be looking at Black Hole and calling them directly and seeing what they had in stock or get my name in the hat for a barrel to be made. I have about ten of their offerings right now and a couple more on the way and they are all shooters.
