Reviews & Ratings for Rosco Manufacturing Bloodline 5.56 NATO Mid Length Barrel — 13 reviews — Page 1

Admittedly, I had almost zero expectations for this barrel, especially at this price point. But I had a 16” B.Rain that wouldn’t group, so I purchased this barrel on sale to try a 14.5 P/W thinking I wouldn’t be out much if I hated it.
First off, several reputable $300+ barrel manufacturers could learn from the packaging they used. Children aren’t this safe in car seats.
Exterior showed no defects and the bore-scope looked surprisingly good with a clean gas port hole. Better looking than 70% of the barrels I’ve purchased which hurt me a bit, because at this price it shouldn’t look like they care more than the others. Install was perfectly uneventful as was the break-in and zero. Finished break-in on 5” 200 yard plates and prairie dog silhouettes @240.
I’ve ran roughly 900 rounds through it now and have had zero issues. Rifle groups better than it did new. You have a new customer Rosco.

Was looking for an inexpensive but yet consistent barrel to complete a build with left overs. To my surprise I got a bit more than expected. With WIN xm193 and a 4x32 triji I can consistently print moa. Way better than I was planning. Will definitely purchase another.

I typically buy Ballistic Advantage barrels but I heard good things about Rosco Manufacturing barrels so I decided to buy the M4 16 inch Bloodline barrel and I was amazed at the quality of it. It comes in some of the best packaging I ever seen rather than bubble wrap. It comes with one dimple that aligns with the gas port. The fit and finish is great. Took it to the range after completing my upper and it's very accurate and not over gassed. This barrel punches way above it's price point and I am a fan. I would definitely buy it again and can definitely recommend.

Awesome barrel from Rosco MFG. The dimple made gas block install a breeze. Packaging is great. Took it to the range and it's very accurate. I typically buy BA barrels but the price to quality ratio on this barrel is hard to beat. Would definitely buy again.

First I got this barrel in the 14.5" middy size for my latest ADM build on sale for $89. I originally had a 16" middy from BA but the finish & machining had a little to be desired. I received this barrel well packaged in a super protective box. The machining and finish on this Rosco is flawless. Bolt easily matched up with barrel extension. Haven't got to do any long distance shooting but from 50yds and in I can easily hold a 1.5" group. Im very happy with my purchase and Rosco Mfg. will be where I get my barrels from for any builds in the future.

This is an excellent barrel. The price to performance ratio can't be beat. It's soft shooting and accurate.

If you're on a tighter budget, you really can't beat these rosco barrels. They're made and finished very well. They are accurate and well gassed. And they come pre-dimpled for ease of gas block installation. This is the best barrel you're gonna get at this price point.

Great presentation and finish quality, installed on an aero precision Upper and fit perfect, no test fire yet, I Order a second barrel after install this one.
Purchase other 3 barrels from other brands and the looks and felt cheap after received the Rosco barrels.

This is my second Rosco barrel, my first being an 18” SS in .223 wylde. Like my purebred barrel, this 16” bloodline as far as looks go, stands out the second I open the box. The nitrided finish is flawless, almost glossy but not quite, but smooth and consistent and looks like glass. Looking down the barrel at the locking lugs, again flawless fit and finish, consistent rifling all the way through. My 18” was sub moa and was a better shot than I, I’m sure this 16” will be the same. These have the look and performance of $3-400.00 barrels at about half the price. They have me as a loyal customer. I always make sure to match these barrels up with their bcg’s I figure I can’t go wrong that way and don’t have to worry about incorrect headspacing. Optics Planet delivered early on these, they’ve stepped up their game this late part of summer ‘22 and I’m getting my packages in 3-4 days rather than. 7-10.

The barrel is nice and looks well made. The dimple for the gas block screw made alignment easy. After putting a few hundred rounds through the barrel it has been reliable and I have had zero issues. I cannot speak to absolute accuracy yet as I have not had a chance to do some bench rest shooting with match ammo yet, but it seems to be good. The only odd thing is the spent brass have very light scratches along the case. Maybe the chamber is a little rough? The scratches appear even when a fresh round is chambered and extracted without firing. Whatever causes the scratches on the brass, it does not inhibit function and appears to be smoothing out as I put more rounds through it. My barrel is gassed correctly and ejects at 4 o'clock. Either way it's a great barrel for the price, reliable, and groups well when I do my part
