Im wondering how good the barrels are on aero precision, am I better off building one and what would it cost to get good stuff, not the best, don't want to pay a ton, aero will cost pretty much 500, no boltAndro Corp is good and less well known brand for ARs. They typically/historically have sourced components from Ballistic Advantage, SLR Rifle works etc. I run one of their uppers on my old coyote gun and it has been great, especially if you can land one of the blemished uppers.

I agree with you, I did see a good deal at PSA, but I agree cause why not get a bolt gun that will shoot much farther and I reload it now but that 300 blackout has grown on me in semi auto but gotta shoot good, right bullet in 223 will do the job in ar I got I would thinkThe barrels on all the brands so far mentioned are pretty much going to be a wash. They are all going to be some kind of Chrome/Moly steel with some flavor of corrosion treatment. If you want better accuracy, a cold hammer forged (CHF) barrel will be better, and a stainless steel or match barrel even better than that. The problem is 300Blk is not a precision caliber, so you are going to have to hunt to find even a CHF barrel in a legal length. Either way it is going to cost you more than you probably want to spend for this project, and not offer enough improvement in accuracy to matter for a deer gun.
If you have already bought into an Aero on layaway I would probably stick to that. Otherwise the Andro I listed is $545 with BCG and CH. Palmetto has a daily deal on a 16" upper with BCG which may be worth grabbing up for $350.

They are more or less going to perform the same, but the Aero will likely have a better fit and finish.
I would avoid Radical Firearms, I have heard mixed things about their products and it isn't worth buying junk.
I have enjoyed them--had several. Lifetime warranty and my two 6.5 Grendels held 1/2 MOA. What else can you ask for, especially at their price points--I would have no issues jumping into another one. I also know, last time I checked in with them, they've donated over 600 rifles to law enforcement. Good folks down there.Been looking at some radical firearm reviews, seem to be pretty good for a basic ar upper in 300 blackout, I got an aero precision upper on layaway but will pretty much be a deer gun and I could save a lot going with radical, any experience with them, guess they're made in Texas so I see a bunch of members from there and hoping you guys could shed some light on these.
I've got a radical firearms in 5.56. Had nothing but good luck with it. Of course rifles that are 2-3x more expensive have better accuracy and are a bit more smooth operating but this was plenty accurate to pass my rifle quals. We were told to not clean our rifles until we had a jam or other failure. I've had over 1500 rounds through mine and not one failure yet. Other rifles guys had jammed regularly, more than once in 500 rounds. Maybe I just got a great running rifle but 1-2 moa, fairly tight, and no feed issues give me confidence in my radical firearms ar.Been looking at some radical firearm reviews, seem to be pretty good for a basic ar upper in 300 blackout, I got an aero precision upper on layaway but will pretty much be a deer gun and I could save a lot going with radical, any experience with them, guess they're made in Texas so I see a bunch of members from there and hoping you guys could shed some light on these.
