[QUOTE="angsniper, post: 823044, member: 6627"] 1. If you get a 14.5" barrel you either have to have the flash hider permenantly attached to make it a minimum of 16" or register it as a SBR and pay the $200 tax stamp. --Also, in shooting military matches I can tell you that it gets difficult to hit targets approaching 5-600yds with a 14.5" barrel but it can be done regularly with 16" barrels. 2. If it was me, and I was building a rifle just to shoot and not one for "matches" I would go with chrome moly since it's cheaper. I have both and can't really tell a difference in accuracy. I also have chrome lined barrels which will last a bit longer. 3. I have both heavy and M4 profile barrels. I'm not a fan of the lightweight barrels but I have shot them and they shot fine. 4. There are many good barrels on the market depending on how much you want to spend. The cheapest being DPMS. I have had good and bad DPMS barrels. I would spend more for a good barrel. Kreiger, White Oak Armament are good (I have 1 of each and they are SS). Try ARPerformance.com, they have some really good stuff. Just one mans opinion. I'm sure there are plenty other that have different preferences. [/QUOTE]
