If you're planning on running it suppressed, why not just pick up an LWRC 10.5" piston upper? Join their mailing list, and when they have a weekend holiday sale, you can get the uppers at a significant discount. I picked up a 10.5" adjustable gas block upper from them for just over $1500, when they are normally $2k msrp.
$1500 just for an upper? I've been shopping for an SBR upper and would like piston. Slim pickins. I was thinking about just getting a BCM and changing the gas block to an adjustable.If you're planning on running it suppressed, why not just pick up an LWRC 10.5" piston upper?

My first SBR was recently approved. I am now shopping for a barrel. I am looking for a 10.5" to 11.5" spiral fluted barrel similar to what is used on many LWRC rifles.
Does anyone know where I can find what I am looking for?

IMO I wouldn't go shorter than 14.5 on a 5.56 upper. For 300blk, knock yourself out. Do a 7in barrel. But shorter than 14.5 on 5.56 is a bad idea. So much more baffle wear and kills everything the 5.56 is good at. Why spiral fluting by the way? Just like the looks?
