[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1541204, member: 31749"] If it is just for punching paper and smaller critters I'd look hard at the 224Valkyrie. Larue Tactical makes a complete upper assembly for just under $800 that comes with EVERYTHING you need; upper/handguard, barrel, gas block/tube, BCG, charging handle, buffer tube, recoil spring/buffer, stock, grip, trigger, lower parts kit etc... pretty much everything but the lower (which can be bought for $200 more once you order your upper kit); so for $1000 all in you could have yourself a bonefide LaRue AR. Their caliber selection is pretty comprehensive too. I just received a 12" 300 Blackout from them, the machining work is perfect, for a monolithic upper it is scary light, and it locks up almost so tight that I need tools to push the takedown pins on 3 different milspec forged lowers. It's an incredible value. For what you are wanting to do they offer an 18" Grendel or a 20" Valkyrie. If you went this route you'd only be out the money you've paid into your RRA upper, and you'd get a heck of a lot of value for it. ETA... yes I know you are just looking for a barrel suggestion, in your parts list you didnt mention having any other parts for the upper beyond a stripped receiver, by the time you buy a barrel, BCG, charging handle, misc upper parts and a handguard you are going to be within spitting distance of the LaRue kit I mentioned above, [/QUOTE]
