Oops. Missed the part about wanting a 16" barrel. What about buying a "worthless" 20" chrome barrel with no threading and getting it cut and threaded?
For cost, find an A2 upper with chrome 20" barrel from the AWB days. I got one cut down and threaded to 10.5" a year ago for less than $100. There is probably almost zero demand for an unthreaded barrel at a gun show if you find one.
