Questions & Answers
Any recommended gas block and gas tube for this barrel? Expert Answer

The Ballistic Advantage Premium .223 Wylde Barrel uses a 0.750" gas journal. I would recommend using the Ballistic Advantage Lo Pro Gas Block, linked below. However, any 0.750" gas block would fit including adjustable gas blocks. The 16" barrels will work with any mid-length gas tube. The 18" barrel will work with any rifle-length gas tube.

NOT accurate by Godisgood, Verified Owner, June 22, 2024
I've tried this barrel with 55 gr, 62 gr, 77gr, with a premium scope. I've torqued the barrel nut to 40 lbs, tried the scope on another (known accurate) rifle. I get 3MOA at best. Sometimes it groups at 1.5moa, but could be a random fluke. My particu...
