I bought this barrel for a budget build, so my expectations weren't super high. But the barrel i received seems to be well made and has no visual flaws, so im happy with it.
The info on this listing states the carbine gas system is optimal, but the carbine gas tubes (at least the Aero Precision tube) is not long enough. You will need a mid-length tube for this barrel.
