In this political environment, parts for "black rifles" are in short supply. I've had a barrel backordered for a couple months; it was on order prior to Sandy Hook.
So AIM Surplus posted on Facebook that they have a Spike's Tactical Lothar-Walther barrel in stock. Stainless steel, polygonal-rifled, 1 in 8" twist. They only have the 16" model, but Spike's website has the 18" model in stock. The price is the sticking point: $340 (16") or $355 (18") plus S&H. Ouch!
I haven't seen any other AR-15 barrels with polygonal rifling, so this is way cool. In stainless, you could probably shoot 100k rounds through the thing!
