If it were me, personally I'd just look at Digits website or get Trueflite to make you a barrel as then you could have it next week. Alternatively gunsmith like Arthur Cleland are doing cool things with Shilen barrels, turning them down to suit AR's and getting some pretty outstanding accuracy from them.

Reason I brought Kreiger barrels was I was quoted $1000 each for 2 trueflight ultramatch barrels and I had to supply gas blocks, barrel extensions etc.
Could have brought 2 Shilens at $350 each but went the Kreiger way instead
Kreigers we $450US each and ready to drop in, and since I was after other bits as well it was a no brainer. would have preferred to buy local but...
My first complete AR rifle import in 2005 took 6 months from go to in my hand and the second was 7 months.
