Currently working on an SPR build using Aero M4E1 stripped upper and lower. Already have a spare Vortex PST Gen1 4-16X50 in an ADM Recon mount, so at least one of the optics is taken care off, 2nd will be a 1-8 or 1-10 for yote hunting. Major components will be SLR FF forearm and titanium AGB, Geiseele SSA-E trigger (4th one, so I'm familiar). I've got a spare Toolcraft nitrided bolt, so that's also covered, but I'm probably going to order a bolt/BCG with the barrel to ensure headspace.
Kind of hung up on the barrel. Originally ordered a Faxon 18" Fluted Match 5R with Wylde chamber, but when it arrived from Optics planet, it had a blem on the barrel adjacent the extension. Honestly should have been sold as a blem VS. new, so back it went. Would like to keep the barrel budget to around $400.
Now I'm looking at 2 barrels, both with Wylde chambers, fluting and 1:8 twists:
White Oak 18" SPR SS Fluted
Criterion 18" Fluted
Any experience or thoughts on barrels?
