I will defiantly have the barrel threaded, possibly with a brake installed and melted if the option is available. Or I would consider having the barrel ported. Probably will get flutes as well.
I will need advice regarding contours. Their are so many options I get overwhelmed, so will require customer service.
What barrels do folks recommend? I have been checking out: (forgive my spelling)
- Bartline
- Shillen
- Kreiger
- Black Hole Weaponry
- Criterion
- McGowen
- Rock
- proof (SS not carbon fiber)
- Lilja
Any suggestions on which of these or maybe a brand I have missed?
Do you recommend:
A) buying a blank and having it finished by another service provider? If so where should I have it finished?
B) buying a finished barrel direct from the manufacturer?
C) buying from a retailer? Which retailer?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
