Great barrel at any price. by Ben, December 27, 2017
This barrel is perfect for my SPR build. It is light weight and very accurate. It shoots about .75 MOA for about the first 20-25 shots when cold. It only opens up to 1.25 moa when red hot and the point of aim does not shift at all. This is a very...

Gas port off-center by Hidaro, Verified Owner, January 20, 2023

Very accurate and well made by aerowill, Verified Owner, August 13, 2020
My barrel is an 18" Match Series with a "Gunner" profile. It's light, accurate and all dimensions (gas port, extension, etc.) are exactly right. I did a quick break-in and I was off and shooting 1" groups at 100 yards with hand loaded ammo. Not su...
