solid construction
by brandon -
it fits nicely was easy to work with and i have had no issues with it so far.
Good barrel that doesn't break the bank
by Steve -
Finished the build and sent 30 rounds downrange yesterday and overall I was very pleased with the barrel. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was actually .752 instead of .750 at the point the gas block mounted and I ended up having to lightly hammer the gas block onto the barrel. I would buy another one though...
No barrel dimple for gas block
by Russ -
Overall the barrel seems nice, good finish, but there's no gas block dimples. The photos show ONE, but on my barrel there wasn't any.
Anderson 16” good deal
by Jdub
Very surprised for the price. It had decent accuracy. Milled well, only a few hundred rounds but good. People like to make up stuff to sad
Great Barrel, Not 1:8 Twist Unfortunately
by Dustin -
The quality of the barrel is solid. The machining and finish are on par with what you'd expect from a barrel. The twist rate as stamped on the barrel, however, is 1:9. Not the advertised 1:8. That wasn't a big issue for me, but was a little disappointing. The listing for this needs to be changed. Other than that no complaints.
Great product

Paired this with my Anderson upper and lower. Love my new build
Good enough for me. Accuracy Sat. Headspace w/in spec.
by EZ -
Replaced a barrel on a PSA upper. (was putting a M lock handguard on and did not want to bother with the A frame sight removal.) Went on fine, checked with go and no-go guages, spec'd out just fine. Fired 200 rounds of hand loads through that hit satisfactorily with iron sights. +/- 1-2" at 100 yds. standing. (Few fliers, but that was me and my jerky finger.)
good
by Joan
I used this to build a rifle. It has performed beyond my expectations. Accuracy has been ridiculous for such an inexpensive barral. It is now my favorite rifle. ans i have some high end rifles. LWRC, Knights A, JP, HK. Do not hesitate to buy this barrel for a build
NOT WITHIN SPEC
by Jonathan
Just checked the headspace on this barrel, unfortunately it is not within spec, not usable at all. Got this barrel practically for free as a bundle....now it's just a nice paper weight.
Spend the extra money
by Dylan -
The headspace was horribly off. Three gunsmiths said I could not use the barrel.
