OK guys, noob question. Sorry
1st part, what is a good yet not TOO expensive barrel that can be bought for a 3gun rifle build that will also double as a tactical SPR? Thus far i've ben looking at the Stainless Steel Noveske's but they are hard to find these days. I dont know much about match grade barrels.
Part 2 to that, I have heard that an 18" barrel is the shortest you can go if you want to use a rifle length gas system, which to my understanding is prefered for 3 gun. Does anyone use 16" barrels for matches? And does that force you to use a mid-length gas system? I ask this part because this build will be for a female of small stature so the lighter the barrel the better.
Any tips for getting started would be much appreciated. Thanks
