Get what you pay for. - Luth-AR 5.56mm SOCOM 14.5in Barrel with Front Sight Base

Kelby Watson's Review of Luth-AR 5.56mm SOCOM 14.5in Barrel with Front Sight Base
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.
Pros:
Affordable
decent quality
Cons:
Quality and accuracy are questionable
Best Used for:
The average Joe with an AR
Would Recommend:
Yes
