I’ll be sending off my form 1 to SBR the lower I’m going to use for this project

Who makes an 8”to10” 1:8 twist barrels for the AR-15. I’ll primarily be shooting 220gr SMK’s, so the 1:8 twist will be an important part in getting good accuracy

Is it difficult to build your own upper?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

A member here on this board ( screen name tp555) does barrels and gas blocks. I'm using one of his on/off pushbutton gasblocks on my AR Whisper SBR. He does good work. Noveske also makes barrels. Not sure about availability right now though. Be sure to use a pistol-length gas system for reliable function with subsonics.
