F1 now cutting corners by Wes, Verified Owner, October 26, 2020

Product Info for Watchtower Firearms 16in Wylde Nitride Fluted Barrel

We use our own state of the art barrel cell to provide high end buttoned 416RSS Blanks. We QA/QC throughout the entire barrel making process, air-gauging and drift gauging using 10" drift pins testing to a tenth of a thousandth on tolerance. Our barrels are sub MOA and are match grade. To further enhance the Watchtower Firearms barrel line we now offer an advanced Black Nitride QPQ treatment. The QPQ process is an advanced Black Nitriding process, which augments the standard Nu-Tride process. Enhancing corrosion resistance involves a secondary polishing operation, followed by re-oxidation to produce a lustrous black finish and nearly double the barrel life expectancy. We also offer this line of barrels with post QPQ fluting options to give it the Watchtower Firearms advanced weight reduction and unique look. 416 twice stress relieved steel, 5R rifling - button pulled, Mid-length gas barrel, 1/2-28 threads, 1-8 twist, .750 in gas block diameter.image
