Honestly I think your relative should just sell the AR they have and buy a Colt 6920 and be done with it. It sounds like that is what they really wanted to begin with.
I suspect if his AR is like most folk's AR's then it will get shot maybe 100 times a year if that and will spend most of its life in a safe - so the debate on what is the best barrel is pretty much null since the barrel that is on it now is most likely way more than adequate for what this person needs.

If I were not in the process of building one right now, and I had the money, I would offer to buy it from him. But, that is a good idea about selling it and getting a Colt 6920. He paid about $500-$525 OTD, so, he might lose money on it. And that, he wouldn't like!
