Wilson Match Grade 5.56mm AR barrels ??

[socalbeachbum]

how are Wilson match grade AR-15 barrels, any of you have one or have first hand experience?

I have a Lothar Walther 16" medium-heavy in .223 Wylde and it performs ok, under 1 MOA but won't digest all ammo. My White Oak Armament 16" med-hvy in .223 Wylde was great digested anything I tried. I'm in the market for a new 16-18" barrel and have looked at Wilson SS, and the WMD NiBx treated, and Daniel Defense CHF.

anyone?

RRA and, I think, WOA both use Wilson barrels, and both companies are known for their accurate barrels. I'm a big fan of the .223 Wylde chambering after having owned a RRA Varmint AR that was a 1/4 MOA rifle with the right ammo (in my case Hornady 75gr 5.56 NATO Match).

WOA uses Wilson blanks.

White Oak Precision (the match side of the company), uses Krieger blanks.

Wilson makes good barrels. I haven't had a chance to really dial a load for this one in yet, but it's a $160 Wilson 5.56 22" bull from JSE, and it's been sub-MOA with everything except ball ammo:

so Wilson really has a barrel factory, amazing. that has to take quite a bit of equipment

Wilson Arms...not to be confused with Wilson Combat

Barrels is the only thing Wilson Arms does

oh, thanks for clearing this up. I was actually looking at purchasing a barrel shown on Wilson Combat's website.

My RRA Varmit has a Wilson barrel. It's a nats ass tack driver. I can drop 20 rounds inside a hole the size of a quarter at 100 yards with 69 grain SMKS.
