Friend of mine swears by them, but I cant find anything about their reliability or groupings. Already tried the search function on here and found nothing relevent.
Little help here |

I asked the same question not long ago. Ended up buying a 6mm Creedmoor from them. I've only run a couple of boxes through it, but I'm very happy with mine. The fit and finish is spot on and it groups well, far better than I'm probably capable of pushing it. I'd buy another without hesitation.

I’ve had my WC RLG SPR 18” 5.56 since late 2013. No problems, eats everything it’s been fed and shoots 1 MOA @ 100 yards or better when I do my part.

Wilson Combat 5.56mm barrels feature 5/8"x24 threading at the muzzle (.308 threads) which is heavier than typical AR15 barrels and a definite improvement over 1/2"x28. Know that when you purchase, standard flash hiders won't work.
I have one of their barrels and it's a very good barrel. |

I’ve posted this pic before.
6.8 SPC II 3 shots walked up with scope adjustment then 7 more in the same hole. I built this for my buddy and used his crappy Nikon Buckmaster scope.  Attached FileMy 6.8 shoots the same way. Them or Criterion I can recommend. |

I have heard in the past that some were Criterion.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By borderpatrol: Everyone needs to read the fine print on. Wilson Arms barrel selection. I personally prefer the heavier muzzle threads. They sell both in the 5.56mm barrel section. I don't think they offer it for .223 Wylde barrels. |

I had a slight burr on my feed ramp when I purchased 2 barrels from Wilso Combat. Called them up and I shipped them back to them on their dime. They polished up the feed ramps on both barrels and then shipped them 2 day UpS back to me in time for rifle deer opener (came on a Thursday so I had Friday to get the ARs squared away). I’d say that’s good customer service. I use them for parts purchases as well. Always timely.

I misspoke in my second post. My Wilson Combat 5.56mm barrel came with 5/8"x24 threads.
I double checked their website today and I don't see that option available any longer. I must admit I didn't look at every barrel, they may still have some in stock. These are very good barrels. My first choice is always White Oak Armament. I prefer the SPR profile for accuracy. |
