Where are you guys getting your non threaded ar15 barrels from besides Palmetto? Doing a custom build on a Fightlite SCR receiver and I need one to be NY compliant.
.750 non-threaded AR15 barrels? Where?

I built an SCR using a Ballistic Advantage.
Green mountain barrels has a 19 inch 1-6 twist non threaded

I went with this barrel on @dsdmmat recommendation and I am happy with, plus I caught it on sale for $30.00 off!
Another thing I will recommend, I put a Troy Industries ambi mag release on mine just push out the roll pin and flip the button.

How many rounds did you put through it? Green Mountain barrels from what I have read have been sub-par.

I went to their website and looked through all the 223 Wylde and 5.56 barrels and they are all threaded.
I have put a few hundred through both of the guns with this barrel installed and am very pleased with the sub MOA performance.
You can also order a barrel from McGowen precision barrels

This is going to be a shooter so standard AR15 barrels would suffice. Not looking to spend that much on a barrel but thanks for the info.

If it's a cheap shooter, BCA may suffice.
I bet JSE surplus has some YHM barrels. My YHM 20" non threaded has been great.

I looked on their page and the only non threaded barrels they have are bull barrels and I do not want a bull barrel.

I want a 16" barrel and the money I spend on shipping it to you and having you do the work is not worth the money to invest into a cheap barrel. I will find one. Worst case scenario, I will just buy a normal barrel and pin and weld a thread protector on it myself but I rather have the look of a non threaded barrel. Thanks for the offer though.

16.5" OL or 16" measured from the shank? you want at least a midlength porting job.
This is a good way to go IMO... Match Grade Barrel | .223 Wylde | Urban Super Sniper | 18"-https://shopwilsoncombat.com/
Also Lothar walter will cut you one very nicely polygonal and not cheap but also not too expensive.
you can also get a 18" stoner (very well priced through midway ) that are douglas barrels and just have it cut and crowned that is
a very quick job.
If the threads are 5/8 why not stick a pinned sleeve? if well done one cannot tell the difference (flush with the barrel)
and it is actually better than crowning for several reasons.
No need to weld anything. A blind pin on the actual join (not the threads like some hack gunsmiths do) is a permanent way
of doing it w/o screwing with the minor diameter of the barrel.

I do not want a heavy or a bull barrel. This gun is just for fun and I do not need sub moa results. If I were to build and actual target gun, it will be on an AR platform and not on a SCR lower.

It is not a heavy barrel it is a medium profile and they also have it fluted.
The 18 "douglas-stoner is also light enough and cutting threads and crowning is a 15min task in the lathe.
Bull barrels donnot make an ar more accurate, they mught mAke it worse because the biggest weakness is not the barrel but the receiver itself.
