Poor accuracy

by Sam, Verified Owner from NH, United States Written on August 21, 2022
After significant testing with factory match and hand loaded ammunition, the barrel would not perform as expected - the best it did was ~2" at 100yd, with most 5-shot groups exceeding that by a significant amount (3-4"). The tech at Spikes was helpful, but this barrel is a lemon...a large waste of money and time.

Great Barrel for DMR

by Myles, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on December 31, 2021
I've had this barrel now for the better part of a year and can say it's held up really well.

I've been putting 77gr. HPBT and 69gr. .223 Rem. rounds through it and I managed to get a 1 MOA group in testing. Make no mistake though, it shoots perfectly well with M193 and M855 cartridges as well. It was super easy to install too, just like every other barrel. The nitride finish is holding up well too. Overall, It's great value for the money and I highly recommend to anyone looking to use this on their Mk.12 clone build or any precision shooting AR!
Pros:
  • Easy to install
  • Precision
  • accuarcy
Cons:
  • Expensive
Best Used for:
  • Precision / long range
  • heavier weight .223/ 5.56mm bullets

Perfect fit and accuracy

by Sean Canevari, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on December 3, 2020
I wanted to build a tak driver and this barrel does exactly that. The fitment into my upper receiver was perfect and OP got it to me in a very timely manner. I didnt have to use any shims for the barrel or muzzle break and the gas system fitment was perfect.
Pros:
  • Price
  • accuracy
  • fitment
Cons:
  • None for me
Would recommend: Yes
