243 1:8 AR10 Barrel

[WestTN2288]

Who sells a 243 fast twist ar10 barrel? BCA has one and I'm not above them, I just want to feel confident it's going to shoot to a standard before I buy it.

Im asking here before I start thinking about the custom to semi-custom route. Surely there's something out there, but I keep coming up short of what I'm looking for…

AR-15Parts.com has them but they are only 1:10 twist.

Depending on what you want to spend, I'm sure Craddock Precision could do one. It would be top notch too.

Not sure the twist, but Ballistic advantage is making 243 barrels now, they are currently out of stock. Pricing on them is very fair too, especially if you catch one of their sales. They just had 35 percent off all barrels.

Their accuracy in my experience is great. I talked with them a while back about them doing fluted barrels on the 243, and they said they didn't know yet. Hoping they offer a stainless fluted 20 inch this year, I will buy one when they do.

Nevermind, just checked and they are a 10 twist.

I've only seen 1:10 and 1:12 for 243

I kind of don't want a creed, because of the shoulder angle and some other small stuff.

That said, a decent barrel at a good price could talk me into it

Those are $1 off MSRP. That's a heck of a deal.
