As good as my faxon. - TRYBE Defense Government Profile AR-15 Barrel, .223 Wylde

So far so good, for $130 I’m extremely impressed. This thing is dead on. 2020 is a weird year and apparently my whole state is on fire, so fire restrictions won’t let me shoot outside at the moment. That being said, I could only “zero” at 25 yards At my indoor range, accounting for POA/POI with a ballistics calculator and my reloads. It’ll do for now, but once sighted at 25 yards it was dead on– unsupported 1” groups. But “pics or it didn’t happen,” right? I typically expect the whole “you get what you pay for” and the barrel that I had was trashed. It was time for a new one, and this one was a little less than my Faxon, so I figured what the heck, it’ll be better than a worn out barrel, right? RIGHT. Honestly, it shoots just as well as when the Faxon was new. I know it’s a relatively new company, but I’d buy it before they decide to up the price. If this barrel is still this accurate after 10,000 rounds, I’ll post another review. I am extremely impressed with this thing. Buy it, you won’t regret it. My only gripes are that the finish on the threads is a little gritty, but some WD40 when threading the muzzle device will clean it up. Just remove it and wipe both mating surfaces before torquing it. The other gripe is that the barrel extension was a little tight in my upper, but a scotch brite pad to polish the receiver and extension got a good snug fit that almost slid perfectly in, just needed some persuasion. All-in-all: five stars hands down. I’d buy it again even if it only makes it to 10,000 because then I know I got more than my money’s worth. Heck, this level of accuracy for $130 is more than my money’s worth; you just can’t go wrong with this barrel.
