All the aftermarket barrels in the $300 range are good and none seem to have a better rep than the others.
If you'd like something more in the $180 range, Apache Gun Works does great work with less expensive blanks. He has very god reputation and loyal customers who swear by his work. I have a 260AI from him and a 450BM on order. Of course, he also will work with te hig end barrels if you like. He has a good story on his web site, as well. Check it out.
I also have a McGowen 260AI from McGowen Outlet I am very happy with. Dennis is the sales rep there, good guy.
You can also check with Fred from Sharp Shooter Supply and Jim from Northland Shooters Supply. Both are fine men with good barrels from different companies.
You can't go wrong with any of these guys and their products.
Anothr source for used and sometimes unfired aftermarket and factory barrels is the classified section here. There are barrels for sale here almost all the time for CHEAP!.
My best shooter was bought from a fellow member here.
Good luck.
