Which AR-15 uppers on the market are the most accurate, defined as sub 1 MOA at 100 yards?
He uses Shilen barrels, or at least did on my .358 WSSM he made for me. Shot sub 1/2”Mike Milli of Dtech

I’m guessing you mean Wilson, not Wilson combat.JP Enterprises
Bartlein
Krieger
White Oak Armament
Green Mountain
Wilson Combat
That wasn't a typo. I mean Wilson Combat, with their logo stamped at the muzzle. I can attest to their MOA precision. I suppose they or White Oak may quietly subcontract, but it doesn't appear so, at least in Wilson Combat's video. They're good barrels in any case.I’m guessing you mean Wilson, not Wilson combat.
And to my knowledge, white oak doesn’t make their own barrels. When I was buying their stuff, their “house” barrels were Wilson and you could pay more for a krieger. compass lake is another good option
I bought a DPMS (affordable) upper from Midway USA around 13 years ago with a 24" heavy fluted stainless steel barrel and put it on a Bushmaster lower.
My Larue stealth upper does 1 MOA with MK262.
On the subject of DPMS, I attended a course for work several years ago, where the DPMS SASS was standing in for the KAC SR-25 (turns out, SR25 rifles are not easy to obtain if you aren't a gov't entity). The only modification to the SASS was the adjustable JP triggers had been removed and replaced with a non-adjustable match type trigger. When I first saw these rifles, what came to mind was the low cost nature of most DPMS products I had handled (I had never messed with one of their AR10 type rifles). I assumed that my performance through the course would be hampered by being forced to use this rifle. It had a Leopold M3 10X mounted, and we were using Fed gold medal match 168 grain ammo. I was pleasantly surprised- through the course, my issued SASS always did 1 MOA or better, and not to brag- I was the highest score in the class on the range and overall, with all of my classmates also holding legit sniper pedigrees .
Lots of good barrel manufacturing, Lilja barrel has a long history and good reputation. Shilen have not impressed me at all dispite the internet following.One of the best shooting barrels I ever had was a 24" fluted SS DPMS (223 chamber). I sold it 'cause I had several "name brand" barrels - White Oak, JP, Shilen, Lilja, ARP, Blackhole.
if you'd had their crawfish boil, you might change your mindShilen have not impressed me at all dispite the internet following.
