Delton is offering these assembled barrels for $154 and another $35 for chrome lined. Is it possible to beat that deal? I may buy a stripped barrel for $100ish, but buying an assembled barrel seems smarter.

Err you mean buying a barrel without a barrel extension? yeah, don't ever do that, there is no point and thats not something you want to be doing.

Post the link to the page with the 16" midlength in question for a meaningful answer.

I see it shown at $415 on their site.

Answer: Doesn't seem special to me. Depends on your needs and intended use.

For precision paper punching, avoid the chrome lining for accuracy sake.

For everyday zombie killing, chrome lining makes it easier to clean.

Check out PSA , they have some crazy deals .

Third one down on the Delton link is what I am looking at. I would post a link but I'm on my phone.

 

When I said assembled, I meant with barrel extension and FSB.

quite honestly, just go to the EE section of AR15.com and you can find colt barrels for $200 complete as new take offs....I got a gov't profile one last month for this
