The barrel came in pretty good shape. The front sight base was pre pinned, and it’s a nice sight base. Only issue I had was, upon initial test firing, the gun would keep short stroking. Tore everything back apart to discover the gas port on the barrel was under sized. I believe it was around .046 inches. According to the AR guru’s it needed to be around .070-.078 inches. Used a 5/64’s reamer and made the gas port bigger, and now the gun cycles flawlessly. Still haven’t gotten a chance to test accuracy however.

Some assembly required

by Big Wave Dave, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on December 26, 2024
Be American! Buy American! This is my third Luth AR barrel and all I can say is I'm impressed. I have several; thousand rounds through the three barrels and they are still solid, accurate and look good. The fit and finish is very high and the installation/compatibility with other standard Milspec parts is just fine. If you like the shorter barrels or are building an M-4 clone, then this is the barrel for you. The price point compared to other brands is very competitive and the performance is very good as well.
Pros:
  • cost
  • Fit
  • Finish
  • Function
Cons:
  • no front sight post assembly
  • no slip ring assembly
Best Used for:
  • Pistol
  • SBR
  • Short barrel rifle
  • AOW

Almost there

by Charles Karp, Verified Owner from CO, United States Written on May 19, 2024
Exactly what I was looking for my retro build. However, I was very disappointed that the barrel didn't come with the front sight, spring and detent included. Also, it does not come with the Delta ring, spring, and snap ring. These are things that should be included at this price point.
Best Used for:
  • Retro clone M4 builds
