I understand the logic when there is a $500 difference, but also realize that you are buying a $70 shaw barrel at the $500 price point.
$1000 is on the high side for a complete upper considering JD probably uses a $200 Shilen blank.
I can sell you a complete Shilen or Douglas barreled upper for about $750.
It will be custom made to your specs.
The throat will be perfectly centered in the bore, the gas port will be the right size and location (pistol) for both supersonic and subsonic loads.
I also take JP adjustable gas blocks and turn them down so that you can easily fit them under a freefloat tube.
You will not find any 7 page forum topics about getting my barrels to run right...
