Wanting to pick up a 6 ARC AR Any suggestions on Seekins or Wilson? Want a light weight rifle, do I want a 18 or 20 inch barrel.
TIA

I've had many Wilson Combat barrels that all shot MOA, but took some work to get under MOA with handloads. Heard great things about Seekins but never owned one.

Can't go wrong with Rock River nor Satern which is going to my choices on my 22 ARC
 
Of two choices, light weight, I'd say Seekins. Quality is going to be similar. I'm a little biased obviously since we have our own sources for our builds, however, we are dealers for Seekins and Wilson and have always enjoyed working with Glen and his team. Aside from that, you'll get a gun that shoots very well either direction you go.

If we were to build one we'd offer the 20" with a double fluted barrel to help save some on the weight. It's roughly the same weight as a 20" carbon fiber barrel; the biggest difference in felt weight will be in the stock and handguard you choose.

Have fun shooting regardless. The ARC is a joy.
 
I have a Wilson Combat barrel that shoots real well. I did the one shot, one clean routine for 7 shots with it during barrel break in.

It does not become overly copper fouled easily at all. Identical to other custom barrels that I have had.
 
I have a wilson 6arc, shoots good. Headspace is loose side. Hits pressure ceiling quick. I got a faxon 22 arc. They have some really cool contours without the odd wilson gas tube thing. No experience with seekins. I have 22 nosler wilson, it's perfect. Lights out. The 6 arc just got some weird chamber thing going on. Heard that from others as well.
 
Zero experience with Wilson but two of my AR's are Seekins. I've got Daniel Defense, Sig and Rock River AR's and they're good too but when I'm ready to add another AR it will be another Seekins.
