AR-10 build, What 16 inch barrel?

[PhilCam]

I'm building an AR-10 in .308 using a Centurion Arms Upper and Lower.

I'm looking for a 16 inch barrel, specifically on the list now is the Rainier Arms 16 match in a 1:10 twist or the Wilson Combat in a 1:11.5 twist.

Looking for opinions on these two barrels as well as suggestions for other barrels I may have overlooked.

Hello PhiliCam

Just an option, but I have a jp barrel and it's is a lazer for me. I bought the 18" with matching bolt for about $500.

Criterion as its available in rifle gas.

Krieger has a few SR barrels on the shelf. Best go look.

So does Noveske, 16 inch Rifle Gas

And it comes pinned.

And it comes pinned.

That is true. Great point.

I like my falkor defense barrel, rifle length gas, 1:10 twist and 16”. They might just be a little hard to find.

I've used quite a few Faxon barrels(5C nitrided), very accurate. Criterion is in the same price range and guys like them a lot also.

Proof Research steel barrel.

I am in the middle of a similar build with a 16 inch barrel that will primarily be ran suppressed. My top two choices I am deciding between are the criterion with rifle length gas or a proof barrel with intermediate gas.

I’ve always been a big fan of Proof’s AR barrels but either of those choices would serve you well. No experience with Criterion but I’ve never heard anything bad about them.

Criterion has really nice 16in rifle gas barrels.

I just sold my AR10, it had the JP Supermatch with matching bolt. Shot lights out with factory ammo, <1moa

I have a 16" rifle gas Criterion that shoots ok. Ive shot 168 GMM, 175 GMM, 185 Juggernaut, and a few other factory loads as well as some of my reloads through it without any issues. All suppressed. Its MOA sometimes but usually a little over. I'd probably by another one if I had the chance.

I have a Criterion barrel and JP bolt I might part with. PM me?
