When dealing with the upgrading of your AR15’s barrel it opens a whole new can of worms. What purpose do you want your AR to serve? Is it just a weekend plinker? Are you trying for distance? Maybe you want to make it shorter (NFA Rules apply of course) There are many reasons to swap out your barrel. Maybe yours has had better days and its time to replace it. Either way there are several options and companies available to you to choose from!
