Spike's Tactical 16" 5.56 NATO Optimal Contour 1:7 Mid-Length Barrel - Phosphate

Barrel looks great the finish is awesome and fit in my Upper, haven't fire it yet but it looks kickass!

Great looking, very light, accurate barrel! Just as accurate as any HBar I've seen

I could not be happier with this barrel and all the other purchases I've ordered from Primary arms. I always receive my items extremely fast with excellent customer service.

I haven't installed in yet, but it was packed well and shipped fast.

I wanted a barrel that could handle any and everything I threw at it. This one does just that. Really shines with heavier grain rounds but still does great with cheap steel cased Russian stuff too. I am very satisfied with this one and highly recommend it for a build or for replacement of standard milspec barrel. I really enjoy dealing with Primary Arms. Fast shipping and quality parts

Primary Arms processed the order fast. It was shipped 4hrs after placing the order. I even called them to add an item to the order last minute. The package was packed very nice with a truck load of bubble wrap. Fit and Finish are top notch and a good weight. I am planning on head spacing and test firing soon. (Update) The barrel head spaced with no issues with my BCM BCG.

Quality quality quality. Only thing that could make it better would be a melonited or cerakoted outter coating. Great barrel I expect to have for many years.

Shoots great. perfect for my spikes build. Amazing fast shipping from PA

This CHF barrel is a high quality and the barrel contour is not so heavy that it weighs you down

This is the barrel I wanted and had to search for a good price. Primary arms shipped this item fast and was well protected. I will be installing this barrel on my AR soon.

What a great barrel. I never had chrome lined or CHF before. Make sure you break this one in correctly and you should have a great barrel for a long time. This is money well spent

Will do business again!!! Thanks!!

I built my AR15 last year and used this barrel. The barrel is very well built and I get very accurate results. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one on a future build.

Had to return mine the area where the gas port goes was to big. It says it fits a .750 low profile gas block the Midwest Industries low profile gas block did not fit. It was to tight for the barrel. Decided to go with the Spikes SS 18" .223 Wylde barrel instead.

This is the second spikes barrel i have used. They are top the line. Not a match barrel but both can shoot inch at a hundred yards. CHF barrel made by FN Armory same barrel maker our military barrels come from.

By far one of the best barrels out there! Finish was spectacular, paired it with a dynacomp shorty extreme and installed onto spikes Gen II billet receiver, it was a little tight to insert. Sightly greased, heated the threads of the upper with a heat gun and gave it some taps with a rubber mallet.
<br>This thing is incredibly accurate! Can’t believe people don’t put spikes in top tier with BCM Noveske etc...

Purchased this barrel for a custom rifle I use as a police officer. The accuracy is outstanding. Have not had a chance to shoot anything heavier than 55 grain because that is what I am issued. I will write another review if I am not happy with the performance of a heavier grain bullet.

I bought this barrel for a lightweight rough service build because it's cold hammer forged and extra thick chrome lined. It runs great as expected but the accuracy was a surprise. While it's not as accurate as a match type barrel when shooting cheap ammo, it shoots sub 1/2 moa with my 75 grain Hornady accuracy loads.

This is a Spike's Tactical Cold Hammer Forged barrel made by FN. This is an excellent barrel and as always, excellent quality for an AR15 Build. The sale price was a great deal maker!

This Spike's barrel is cold hammer forged, chrome lined - an FN made barrel.
<br>FN is top quality and generally excellent QC as far as barrels go . As a matter of fact, nearly every single AR barrel I own is chrome lined Colt or FN made. The Spike's 16" mid-length barrel is a very good choice. It is light and balanced. Though, this review should gets 4 stars, only because on my barrel the step up to .750 gas journal needed some 'slight' attention on its edge to get my dimpling jig/ gas block over into its rightful place and all is good. The barrel is worth 5 stars. Don't cheap out on the pretty nitride, get a CHF chrome lined barrel.
<br>Also need to add that PA is an excellent company, second to none in customer service - they have veterans working on their team! My favorite supplies company in Houston period!
