I’ve been looking for a supplier for a 6x45mm AR barrel. I used an AR chambered in this cartridge for deer hunting when I was younger and have been wanting one for myself for a while.
Besides Les Baer are there any other companies around that make them? I’ve been searching and so far no dice.
This business makes 6x45mm AR15 barrels. I don’t know what their reputation is. Others on this blog may have more info.
Thanks for the info.
His website says he isn’t accepting any more orders, damn.
White Oak Armament made mine, they don’t show it on their web page, you will have call or email for info.

Thanks for the info. I just got a reply and it seems like I’ll go with them.
What kind of velocity and groups are you getting out of your rifle? What barrel length did you go with also?
I went with a 20" barrel first and had a 16" made also. With the 20 " barrel and 85 to 87 grain bullets worked up to about 2700 FPS, and did not push it any more than that. Lost about 100 FPS going to 16" barrel I think. I did not shoot much paper with either, worked up some loads using the Sierra #5 load manual and was going to start using it for varmints, but had health issues come up. Wish I had more to fill you in on, it is a great first wildcat easy to make brass and all you need is a barrel for the AR. I think you will be Happy with the WOA barrel chambered in 6x45.
I found another source for 6x45 barrels here; http://www.truesportingarms.com/Black_Hole_Weaponry.php
Thanks for the info. White Oak has 20" barrels but they don’t have any 16" barrels nor are they taking orders at this time. I’ll try and see if those guys have any 16 inchers available.
I know this is over a month old, but did you ever find a barrel maker? I just placed an order with White Oak for 2 18" SS barrels. I am looking for another dealer for a build for a friend. Thanks…
I ended up finding a local gunsmith to turn a barrel. I have an order placed with Black Hole Weaponry but am none to happy. They stated they had them ready to go yet the last I spoke with them they are saying June at the earliest and I placed this order in April. I’m going with a 16" barrel for my build and may order a barreled upper from Spirit Guns instead of Black Hole.
White Oak didn’t have any 16 or 18 inchers available when I called and the machinest I talked to stated he wasn’t turning any for a couple of months.
The Spirit Arms uppers looked good, but too many things that I wanted to change out. I will see how these two work out and go from there. Just ordered dies and a few other pieces to get started processing brass. I was told 8-10 weeks, but it should be a lot sooner(so they say).
