Yep. This barrel is still a great option for your build- although not the prettiest. Take a few minutes to pick out the manufacturing "gunk" out of the chamber area before install. The M4 feed ramps line-up with multiple uppers perfectly (Aero, Spikes, Stern). Did not work well on an Anderson upper- but I've only ever tried one. Fitment is snug, but not freeze the barrel and heat the upper tight- more like put some muscle into it- or tap it with a rubber mallet tight. I've used this barrel in quite a few carbine builds- and none of my rifles or my teammates' rifles have had issues- all producing good tight groups at the range. I'm up to a few thousand rounds on mine, and still going strong- rifling still looks good and the chamber still looks brand new (ish). Good price on a very good barrel. PA will have it at your house almost as fast as you can hit submit on your order.
great for fist time builders

I got this barrel for my first AR build and I got to say its a great barrel for the price! well made and very accurate! The only thing you have to do if you choose to do so is dimple the barrel it does not come pre dimpled other then that a great choice.
