    I am thinking about swapping a barrel on an AR I have. I am thinking something along the lines of 18" in .223, 5.56 or .223Wylde. Any body have anything budget friendly laying around in the Pensacola area? Thanks in advance.

    I have a 16" 5.56 from a sig sauer m400 enhanced... not exactly what you're looking for, but I'll get rid of it for a good price.

    I will keep it in mind but I think I will hold off for an 18". I am getting rid of a 14.7 so 16 is not much longer plus I already have a 16" on another AR.

    What's your idea of "budget"?

    Check out Mas Defense, they have some decent barrels and cheap too.

    Have you ever bought from them? I have changed my mind for now to go 7.62x39 and they have a barrel I am interested. I was looking at a few things from delta team tactical but a quick google search has me looking elsewhere.

    I have not but I have heard good things about them from people that have used them on other forums. I think TennJeep got a barrel from them a few years ago, not positive though.

    The build might not end up so cheap once you figure in mags,bolt,ammo,possibly reloading stuff,MTM style ammo boxes,mag pouches,etc,etc. --- SAWMAN

    Reloading is not in my future and I have an AK already so I have shooting ammo. I will have to buy hunting ammo though. If I think about it long enough I will probably get an itch for something different altogether. Right now I am thinking a barrel and bolt, muzzle device and a couple magazines. I have a couple gas blocks and a carbine gas tube with very few rounds on it. We will see.
