The Wilson Combat Match Grade 20" 416R Stainless AR-15 Barrel is purpose-built for shooters who demand sub-MOA precision from a precision rifle or target build. Chambered in .223 Wylde with a 1:8 twist rate, this fluted, bead-blasted stainless barrel delivers the accuracy you need whether you're pushing distance at the range or testing your long-range hunting setup. Wilson Combat's reputation for meticulous attention to detail shows in every aspect of this barrel—from the hand-polished bore and feed ramps to the crisp CNC markings and precision muzzle crown.

Built from American-made 416R stainless steel and rifled on computer-controlled equipment to exact specifications, this Super Sniper profile barrel balances weight and rigidity to minimize vibration and maximize shot consistency. The fluted design reduces overall mass while maintaining the structural integrity needed for match-grade performance. Every barrel undergoes a rigorous final inspection process before it leaves the shop, ensuring it meets Wilson Combat's demanding standards for accuracy and reliability.

The .223 Wylde chamber accepts both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, giving you flexibility in your ammo selection without sacrificing the tight tolerances that precision requires. M4-style feed ramps, M-spec gas port dimensions, and a rifle-length gas system optimize reliability across a wide range of loads. With 1/2" x 28 muzzle threads, you have full compatibility with modern suppressors and muzzle devices.

Whether you're building a dedicated long-range platform, upgrading an existing upper, or assembling a match-grade DMR, this barrel delivers the foundation precision shooters expect from Wilson Combat. It's the kind of component that rewards consistent technique and quality ammunition with groups that speak for themselves.
