How accurate is the 20" version?

Expert Answer

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on January 09, 2023

The accuracy of the Shaw 223 Wylde Hbar Helical Flute barrel will depend on different factors including the rifle set up, ammo, and the shooter. Shaw barrels are quality barrels that are capable of being very accurate if the rest of the factors contributing to accuracy are taken into consideration.

The length of the rail will depend on your personal preference and the length of the barrel selected, you will need a handguard that is shorter than the barrel. Without knowing what type of gas block you currently have, we are not able to confirm if it will be compatible with this barrel. Please email us at TechSales@OpticsPlanet.com with your current gas block make/model and we will be glad to confirm fitment for your.
