New Version 2 Upgrade

We recently upgraded our barrels to have deeper spiral fluting and a shinier polished finish!

Details

Our 16″ 223 Wylde barrel has gone through quite a process to get to the point it is currently at.

416 twice stress relieved steel, spiral fluted, sand blasted, polished, and TiN coated! This is not your ordinary AR-15 barrel.

Features:

  • 16″ Barrel
  • 5R Rifling – button pulled
  • 1/2-28 Thread
  • .750″ Journal barrel pre dimpled under gas port
  • 416 Twice Stress Relieved Steel
  • 1/2-28 Thread
  • Mid-Length Gas Tube (not included)
  • Spiral Fluted
  • Polished
  • TiN Coated
  • Medium Contour

What are the benefits of TiN Coating?

TiN (Titanium Nitride) coating has many great benefits that can enhance the performance and durability of moving parts. In addition to looking really awesome, there are some key features that we believe help enhance the performance of the barrel.

  • Less surface friction, smoother action and should mitigate most feeding issues (which aren’t related to bad magazines or ammo)
  • Easy to clean. Gunk just wipes right off!
  • Reduced wear and tear, increased lifespan
  • High heat and chemical inertness
  • it looks beautiful!

These are just our opinions, but we think that you will find our TiN barrels really enhance the overall experience and appearance of your ARs!

Truly Unique Work of Art

A lot of thought and hard work went into making these barrels. If you experience any issues with these, please feel free to let us know!

NOTE: FOR BEST ACCURACY

It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to perform the following:

  • Step 1: Lap the Upper Receiver
  • Step 2: Shim the Barrel with .001 shim
  • Step 3: Use Green Loctite Retaining Compound

If you don’t know how to do this, ask your local gunsmith to help with the install.

You may not notice this when installing, but we can assure you that a microscopic amount of play between the barrel extension and upper receiver can have a huge impact on accuracy 100+ yards out.

Achieving a tight fit between the barrel and upper receiver is the key to achieving the highest accuracy possible from this barrel.

We strongly recommend using Green Retaining Compound Loctite and a .001″ Stainless Steel Shim when installing this barrel into any upper receiver.
