Looking for source for 14.5" AR barrels 5.56...

[padawan]

Having a difficult time finding a 14.5" AR bbl to finish up a build. Needs to be 5.56/223 and 1/2x28 threads. Prefer mid but carbine gas is ok. M4 feed ramps, etc. Not picky on profile.

Not looking for a bank breaker either, $200 or less.

Any suggestions from the INGO Brain Trust?

Several to choose from. Ballistics Advantage makes great 5.56/5.45 barrels. Their barrels are highly spoken of by Spike's Tactical. These will be melonite coated and have nickel boron barrel extensions. If you use coupon code "LEGACY" you get 10% off, making the barrel $202.50.

Damn, I probably would have tried one of their 10.5" barrels if I didn't get a Rainier already

Love my Ballistics Advantage 5.45 barrel. I had my Vortex Viper on it to start and I was getting around 1.5 moa 10 shot groups (I'm not that great of a shot). Was pleasantly surprised to see that from surplus ammo.

Look up Model 1 They seem to have most everything. They were going to make me a 10.5" 9mm AR bbl, buy found a RRA to match my lower.

wsenefeld- did you have any issues with that BA 5.45 bbl? I read of a case of cycling issues with Wolf 60g but Hornady V-MAX would cycle fine.

Thanks.

It should be a shoot lights out. Both are a 10.5″ and 16″ length with the option of a 1/7 or 1/8 twist.

I have no personal experience with the 5.45 vmax but have shot 500-600 surplus 7n6 and 200-300 wolf 60gr through it. The surplus did give me 3 failures to feed within the first 200 rounds but I think that was a magazine problem. Since then everything has run smooth. I use ASC and C products mags.
