FINALLY finished building out the SPR build with the 18 inch CHF Nitride/Stainless Strike Fighter barrel I bought years back. I'll be doing a Reddit post on it sometime next week. I'll DM it to you. Shame those barrels are disco'd.
Looks like AR15Discounts.com has the BCA 20 inch 308 CHF barrels under their house brand "NBS".
They're currently on sale for $96. Shipping is $8.99.

BCA listing for comparison...
The battle was fought a decade ago and the Grendel won. Thanks to the new ARC cartridges, it's not going to change. Plenty of support around for the Grendel. The 6.8, not so much. Just don't tell Constructor.
This barrel

V7 Titanium gas block.
Timber Creek Enforcer CF handguard
Titanium TD/Pivot pins from the manufacturer of your choice
Personally, I'd build it off a ZEV receiver set...
They look very cool and I love what I've seen, buuut...barrels are too short. Give me a 24 inch chf stainless or cmv barrel (not carbon fiber wrapped) in 6.5 Creed, 270 Win, or 30-06 and I'll be a buyer. 22 or 20 and I lose all interest.
I'll share the pictures here when I post. So far, I've only posted about this here and on AK Files. It occurred to me yesterday this would make for a good Reddit thread. Nothing posted over there yet.
TFB had pretty good luck with an upper using the A2 Barrel...
Haven't taken any yet. I'll do so on Monday when I put together a Reddit (I know) post on this whole experience. Again, won't be building them out for a while. Maybe not even in 2024. Too many other projects.
Took about a week of back and forth emailing, but they sent me a return label for the M4 Profile barrel. USPS took 2 weeks to get it back to them (it was lost in NJ for a week 🙄). Anyway, the 7.62x39 CHF HBAR arrived in my possession yesterday.
All the positive notes about the 20 inch A2 apply...
