Great barrel
This barrel is light and high quality. Also an excellent value. If you are trying to make an ultralight rifle, this isn't for you, but it is noticeably lighter than a government model.
USGood quality
Lightweight and has a nice finish for my 16” build. I use BA barrels on all my builds. Highly recommended.
USGood Quality, OK Price
Nice barrel, fairly lightweight (very close to advertised weight). Dunno if I'd consider it a true pencil barrel; the Faxon pencil is quite a bit slimmer and weighs several ounces less. IF you want a slightly heavier pencil profile barrel, this is the one.
USBA pencil barre
I was looking to build a light weight rifle. Ar15 discounts has the best price on the exact barrel I was looking for. Great price, quick shipping awesome selection. Can’t ask for more.
USBest barrel value out there
BA barrels represent the best quality/price value in the industry. Last two I’ve used absolutely shoot sub moa with 69 gr Black Hills. Have several that cost twice as much that don’t come close. AR15Discounts prices and shipping are top notch.
