Great barrel

by -

Put about 125 rounds through it the first time out and could have shot all day.

IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD

by -

Well I'm shocked, and pleasantly so. Chrome lined and dimpled, which I did not expect for a barrel this price. Took it out yesterday, and with Federal M193 55gr, I'm getting about minute and a half. I shot 5 groups at a 100 yards after zero to see the accuracy, and not a single group went over 2", not using a rest just shooting off the bench. Brother I am more than happy with that for a 2Gun or 3Gun setup. For a cheaper barrel, I'm pretty stoked with it.

Nice Barrel

Barrel arrived in perfect condition. Fit and finish is flawless. Shot a 5 shot group less than 1MOA first time out with some random 55gr Sierra handloads I had made up for a different gun. This barrel shoots everything well. Some better than others. No regrets buying this barrel. Excellent.

Excellent barrel.

This barrel will shoot. Excellent accuracy with a perfect fit and finish. Gas port is perfect diameter. Mine measured exactly .078" with pin gauges. I feel this barrel was an absolute bargain for the price. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Quality piece.

Great barrel at a good price!

I needed a decent barrel for a build. I was pleasantly surprised with the Chrome lined Expo barrel. More accurate than I was expecting.
The finish was also great. I already have a few expo rails and parts on other rifles. Never had an issue with anything expo.

Expo Arms Combat Series 16" chrome lined barrel

Primary Arms ships quick with tracking updates. Awesome! Barrel looks great. I will be testing it this weekend for accuracy. Nice fit into an Anderson upper. Had to tap it in the last 3/8" with a rubber mallet. Now to see how it compares to an SOLGW 16" middy for least picky about ammo and best overall groups. Winner gets a permanent home with me. So far every Expo Arms item I have purchased has been great!

EXPO ARMS COMBAT SERIES 5.56 CHROME LINED AR-15 BARREL GOV. PROFILE MID-LENGTH - 16"

by -

Bought this about a month ago and left a 4 star review based on a visual inspection and fitment to reciever and gas gas block.
Everything was great as expected. Took it to the range on Saturday andshot five 5-shot groups from 55 grain to 75 grain, 4 different brands. All regular off the shelf stuff to sight in and function test the gun. Shooting at 50 yards the best group was .365" and 3 groups were average .875, the largest was 1.2" but four of those were touching at .490". So yeah, it's a keeper. This barrel is fantastic for a "combat" barrel.

I’ve gotten quite a few of these barrels for builds, never any issues and love the fact already dimpled! Always like my chrome lined barrels.

Holy Cow

by

First off I know expo is PA brand but there stuff is TOP OF THE LINE. This barrel is gassed PERFECT. I prefer phosphate finish on barrel and bcg and I'm running both and I can not believe the quality from this barrel and bcg. It's accurate and take my word I shot a nickel sized 4rnd group at 50 with a dot. I can not believe this EXPO stuff but damn 4 o clock ejection without a blue springco is just mint

Took a gamble and came out on top!

This is fantastic for the price. Micro groove rifling, concentric crown, dimple for the gas block, chrome lined, and thick magnesium phosphate coating. I am very impressed with reliability and accuracy so far, all that's left is longevity!
