Chunky. accurate. did i mention chunky? - Wilson Combat TR223SSRG20FT8 Match Grade Barrel 20" Fluted 223 Wylde 416R Stainl

The gunsmith who installed this for me said he had to do a triple-take to make sure it wasn't an AR10 barrel due to the sheer thickness. I guess that .875 barrels aren't terribly common in the AR15 world (are they?). In any case, this thing drives tacks, and groups exceptionally well. It weighs a lot, and as such isn't exactly a good choice for a run'n'gun type setup.

The finish is very interesting, and one of my favorites- it's the shiniest bead-blasted surface I've ever seen, and makes for an exceptionally beautiful weapon when combined with a forend with enough holes to show it off. Having not measured the gas port I can't speak completely authoritatively on sizing, but what I CAN say is that my rifle runs exceptionally dirty with a suppressor. So dirty, in fact, that my nickel bolt carrier looked like a black phosphate one after 2 shots.

In any case, I'd highly recommend this barrel to anyone who likes their AR rifles l o n g.
