Paul-the new guy Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Looking for barrel suggestions. I am looking for 1-9 or maybe 1-8 twist, I don't want 1-7 Doesn't need to be a light weight or military profile. I love black hole but they only offer 10.5" or 12.5" this will be for a suppressed rifle. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug H. Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I just bought their 10.5 for a suppressed SBR. Let you know how it works out when it's assembled. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSpaderInfantryman Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I like the Ballistic Advantage barrels, they have them in 11.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon49erfan Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Have you looked at Faxon's 11.5"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee blackman Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I went with an Aero 10.5" upper M4E1 upper on my SBR, pretty happy with it too. I slapped it together on a budget build, and it eats as much tula, wolf, and monarch as I can feed it, and I just can't seem to shoot the CQC coat out. IMHO, stuffs better than hard chrome. Its 4150 CrMo steel, so you get like another 200 degrees melting point over typical 4140... The accuracy speaks for itself. And it was like $350...

Tom Freeman Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Be sure to check with the manufacturer of your can. Some will not warranty them on 11.5 and shorter barrels. I have a Thunderbeast 223A full auto rated can that I use on my 7.5 inch and 11.5 inch uppers. SBRs are still loud no matter what can you put on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The suppressor will likely move the POI, so get the heaviest profile you can find to minimize the shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little worried about his. I sighted my 16.1" LWRC without a can on it. Last time I shot any distance, I threw my Sure Mini on there and was still getting my hits at 350+.

Paul-the new guy Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Can is a rugged surge 7.62 with a .223 end cap. It will be a couple more months before I get to use it. :-( I would like a more rigid barrel. Thanks for the ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokecloud Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Not sure why you don't want a 1-7 barrel for a shorty, but if you can live with that twist rate, there are a lot of great barrel makers out there. I decided recently to order a V Seven barrel in 10.5", if you contact Joel, he offers a "suppressor" version with a smaller gas port. Very, very nice barrels. It shouldn't take much surfing for you to figure out that its the lead tech from Noveske that decided to go his own way and continue his innovations. So far my dealings with the company have been top notch and that is what my next SBR is going to be wearing. I had a chance to install one and test it a couple of weeks ago for a friend, I was sold before I had any interaction with the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 I have a 1-7 that doesn't shoot 55's very well that is why I would prefer a 1-8. I also would like the better velocity of an 11.5" I have read a few places that the difference is pretty significant. I use adjustable gas so I don't need a reduced size gas port. Thank you for the suggestion on V seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YammyMonkey Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I've been very happy with my BCM stainless 11.5. Running it with an Allen Engineering suppressor and it'll shoot sub MOA at 200 yds (longest range I have access to.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txolds442 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Best bang for the buck is Ballistic Advantage. I have about 600 rounds down my 11.5 and it's good to go. $145 and free shipping is hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
