AR15 got a new Wilson barrel, now she rocks!

[bikemutt]

After seeing my bolt rifles do group-smackdown on my RR AR15 I decided to try something new and different. I picked up a Wilson Combat Super Sniper 20" stainless barrel and had my 'smith do a barrel change.

Got it out to the range today and went through the break-in regimen on the 100 yard lane. I could tell even with gun show bulk this one was going to be a good shooter. After shoot-clean-shoot-clean and scope adjustment I settled down to see about a 5-shot group. I'd had good luck with Black Hills 68 grain Match King Re-Manufactured so that's what I used. The target dots were used up so I went for the NRA logo; it's 1/2" diameter.

I was quite pleased with the result, the rifle is soft-shooting, accurate, albeit heavy, but it's a range tool for me. Figured I'd share a few pics with the good folks here at THR.

Wow.

I've been sniffing around for a quality 20" stainless for my next build. This thread made my day! What's your glass?

BTW, I do have one Wilson barrel on a 300blk build that I'm wrapping up. Can't wait to see how it shoots.

Looks like a Nikon M-223 4-16x42.

as jakk said, Nikon.

Nice group, cool rifle!

Not to be nit-picky, but there is a difference between Wilson Barrels and Wilson Combat barrels. Those are two different companies.

New Wilson Barrel

Many years ago I purchased a worn out Remington shotgun.

I sent it to Mr. Wilson.

When it came home it took my breath away!


It is so nice that I have a hard time using it!


Mr. Wilson built me a masterpiece.....

Good point; this one is Wilson Combat.

Nice group.
