Mossberg AR Barrel Quality???

[missing_the_cheese]

Hey guys,
So looking at parts for an AR build and a friend referred me to Mossberg AR barrels as a great cost effective option for a basic gun. Anyone used these on their builds? I've included a link to see what I'm talking about.

Thanks!

Easily one of the best deals on barrels out there. If I were doing a build, I'd probably go for it.

Erwos, thanks for the feedback... I was very concerned that it was too good to be true

Mossberg builds more bbls for 223/556 that most know...

I used one on my pistol build. Only complaint I had was there was some drill flash when they drilled the gas port hole, had to remove that as it intruded into the bbl, but I got it cheap since it had some tooling marks on it. Few mins in the lathe with some polish and viola.. shiny stainless with no tool marks.
