Wilson Combat TR556RCRG18FT8 Match Grade Barrel 18" Fluted 5.56 NATO 416 Stainle
I had been looking for a good barrel for a precision AR build and knew of WC’s reputation for quality 1911’s, so I have it a try. This barrel is fantastic. I’m using a Lantac BCG with BCM upper and it’s shooting a hair over 1/2 MOA with match ammo. I’m very very pleased. Fit and finish is perfect.

The barrel looked great, the finish was perfect. When i took it to the range, the first shots while braking in the barrel were absolutely horrible but don't worry. Once the breakin was done my standard 223 homeloads using 55gn soft points,the group shrunk to 1/2 inch at a 100 yards.
Very happy with it.

It’s actually a really good barrel but it’s not as thick as the one pictured. The barrel pictured is a different brand. This 18” barrel is only made in the recon profile. They do not make an HBAR profile. Wilson Combat still makes some of the best stuff ever.
Pros:
Very well made
Cons:
Not the item in photo
Best Used for:
Target pracrice
Would recommend: No

I was very unhappy with the accuracy of my rifle from the factory. I put a lot into it from handguards, to triggers then changed the barrel. This fixed my gun from a spray and pray gun to accuracy. I am able to shoot 1 inch groups at 150 yards now. Also took this gun out to 650 yards with this barrel change. Hit 9 out of 10 shots that day at 650 yards. My friend with a Remington 700 only hit once. He swears his gun is more accurate, but I think not in its current chassis. I probably have over 1000 rounds in this gun and still shooting very tight groups. It's only used to shoot distance and mild to slow shooting. Still I hope this lasts a long time. One consideration is that these really shouldn't be shot fast a ton. This is more for precision shooting and these barrels tend to wear more when shooting quickly. For this price though you can't beat it.
Pros:
Price
accuracy
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
Precion shooting and hunting
