Re: Best AR-10 barrel manufacturers...
From what I can tell, there are not many to choose from. I would like to see recommendations on this as well.

Re: Best AR-10 barrel manufacturers...
It seems that the popular ones (what's best?!) from scouring this forum are Lilja and Bartlein. My guess is they're popular because that is what is offered standard by GAP. I also think it is hard to go wrong with any top-tier match barrel, I would shop by price or profile...

Re: Best AR-10 barrel manufacturers...
There are as many barrels for AR10's as there are for any bolt gun. It's just a matter of getting a smith to install the barrel extension, drill the gas port and chamber it.
If you want to just buy and install then Armalite, Krieger and Noveske are your primary options.
I have a Noveske on mine and it works fine.
If you want as accurate as possible, then just send your bolt to GAP.

I just finished breaking in a new Kreiger M110 service rifle barrel on my new AR-10. First five shot group was one inch outside to outside at 200 yards from a bipod with Georgia Arms 168 match ammo.
Hard to beat that.

Re: Best AR-10 barrel manufacturers...
I've built quite a few AR10 barrels from Rock Creek blanks. Haven't had one yet not shoot accurately. After talking to Dave Kiff about reamers, I use the 308 Tactical Match reamer, and it's working quite well. 1/2 MOA being the norm, a little better with load development.

I'm looking to build either a POF P308 or a LMT MWS in 6.5 creedmoor, so I'm just trying to weigh my options. I'm also trying to figure out a smith that is comfortable machining a barrel to fit the LMT quick change barrel securing system.
