saw this at a great price and was wondering if there is anything wrong with this barrel?

Other then maybe being illegal, it looks like a nice barrel

 

prob. falls under the " evil feature " count

But who knows, depends on your rifle i guess?

A semi-automatic firearm should be considered to be "substantially identical," that is, identical in all material respects, to a named assault weapon if it meets the below listed criteria:

 

A. semi-automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of the following:

 

a folding or telescoping stock;

a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;

a bayonet mount;

a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and

a grenade launcher;

I don't know if there's anything wrong with it, but just in case you weren't aware it has a 1 in 7 twist rate, which is better suited for heavier bullets (62gr+). What will it be used for?

The barrel itself is not illegal. If he had a muzzle brake pinned and/or welded onto the rifle before using this barrel for a build, I do not see how this barrel would make his rifle illegal as per the evil features count.

1/7 will shoot 55's just fine, as long as your not wanting to shoot like 45gr or lighter the 1/7 barrel will be fine.

My thoughts exactly, IANAL but I see nothing wrong with it, as long as its built into a NJ legal configuration (perm'd brake, no bayo lug, etc)

And the bayonet lug is on the front sight block. The only real issue is that it meets the minimum length, which it does....and that the muzzle brake (or thread protector) is permanently attached.

I know, I was just saying that if he was planning on using a FSB

Thanks for the info, I have converted a saiga so I do have some experience with the corny laws in nj. this is my first ar build though and I'm in the market for a barrel and ran into this deal so I wanted to know if this is a low quality barrel? would I be better off looking at something else? would this work with a 12.37" samson evolution rail? I do know I need a low profile gas block. just in case I already have planned a spikes dyna comp muzzle brake to bring me over the legal length pinned and welded of course. what are the benefits of mid length barrel? I'm doing lots of research but man the ar platform has way too many options! which is good...

Its not the best barrel, but I have seen a few people on ar15.com using it with no complaints

 

would this work with a 12.37" samson evolution rail?

Yes it will work with a stock barrel nut and a low pro gas block

I love my Dynacomp, they work good, and with a 16" barrel you can run the shorter one

what are the benefits of mid length barrel?

Depends on who you talk to, most say its softer shooting than a carbine gas system. I never shot a carbine and mid gas system side by side to compare, but I know I love the way my 14.5" midlength shoots

 

I'm doing lots of research but man the ar platform has way too many options! which is good...

Yea AR's are like lego's for adults, lol. All I can say is do alot of reading on ar15.com and m4carbine.net

another thing is lots of places are sold out on parts aaaarrrrgghhhh! here is another sight I ran across that had some pretty nice barrels...

http://www.dezarms.com/index2.html priced pretty good too, I'm liking those dimpled, and tru flight...

Dont take this the wrong way, but I have to ask if you want a barrel for just for looks, or for shooting?

 

If you can wait till AIM gets this barrel back in stock, IMHO its wayyyyy better than that one for less money ($239) just use the code bryanfreakingrocks to get it for that price.

 

If you cant wait Rainier Arms has a great deal on their SS barrels for $189. Which again are (IMHO) better than the ones dezarms has http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=2267

in reality I only looked at those barrels 1st being light weight, cooling benefits, second looks...by the way that's a nice site there... I'm waiting for aim to give me a call back, they have barrels coming soon they are just not sure exactly when, but will know tomorrow...

Looks good. Google for reviews if you are not sure. Plus the guys stated that they heard of ppl who bought this barrel and liked it. The decent barrel is all you really need unless you are planning on having weekly high intense ( over a thousand rnds ) sessions. good luck with ur AR build. My first one was a blast

saw this one chrome lined and fluted, which the sportsman is not...what do ya think?

Green Mountain barrels are GTG

Read the lower captions, Ar Parts can not be shipped to N.J.

where does it say that? I looked don't see anywhere?

If you have a lower with pistol grip the barrel would technically be illegal because the barrel has threads to accept a flash hider. You would fall under constructive possession just like if you had an unpinned adjustable stock while also in possession of a lower with pistol grip.
