"Don, thanks for the e-mail. We only make our AR10/DPMS-LR barrels with Rifle length gas systems and have found instances where reliability is compromised with lengths shorter than 20". This is the shortest we will cut/crown one of these barrels."

Thank You,

Was it any special kinda barrel like brass or aluminum with a titanium liner or something?

That is really too bad. I am sure you will find a good replacement.

Gas systems on an AR can be finicky. If barrels shorter than 20" are sort after then perhaps a mid-length gas system could be developed using an adjustable gas block and the right size gas tube? Just thinking out loud here...

I was ordering a SS bbl for my AR 10 build and of all the options for bbl length 20-26 I did not see a 18, so sent them a e mail.

They are going to be at NRA Indy and I am going to swing by and talk. There are plenty of short bbl AR 10 out there and I think 18 should be well with in parameters of reliability...

more to come...

Rock river offers a 16" heavy barrel that is compatible with the DPMS I believe. also it is a Wilson barrel and is air gauged and cryoed.
