This is the first of these barrels I have purchased. The quality is excellent with a good finish and well built. I also like the fact it will shoot 5.56 military ammo and 223. Barrel is stamped DPMS 5.56 1:9 inch twist. It will easily handle the 69 gr. ammo.

I haven’t yet tried 75’s or 80’s yet. It hasthe heavy barrel configuration under the handguardand M4 feed ramps. It is not set up for a flash hider but has the competition 11-12 degree crown.I will purchase more of these barrels in the future. It seems anything Brownells puts their name on is top quality stuff.

I got this barrel quick,tech support was out standing. put the barrel on and started the break-in procedure[did it for waranty purposses]–I was amazed at how accurate it was at 100yds. I use my ar mostly for target shooting,I would buy one of these in a heart beat. remember a gun is only as accurate as the shootter. one half inch at 100 yds during break-in, “outstanding”.

Armalite developed the very first the AR-15 rifle back in the 1950s. The abbreviation “AR” is for “ArmaLite Rifle”. It is often confused to mean “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle”. Colt purchased the design from ArmaLite in 1959. This particular rifle was initialy used during the Vietnam War by U.S. Army soldiers. This is where is was known as the “M-16”. Since then the AR design has evolved over the years and been popular among civilians.
