Need some help from all you ar15.com'ers.

I need a barrel for my Mega build project.  I've been peeling apart the inter-webs looking for just the right thing, but am having a tough time finding it.  My requirements are:

  • 16"

  • Mid Length Gas

  • 1:7 Twist

  • 5.56 or .223 Wylde chamber

  • pretty darn decent accuracy... 1MOA possible

  • Parkerized, Ion'd, or somehow otherwise black

  • M4 cuts

  • Medium profile of some sort (not M4 and not a heavy beast)

  • Dimpled for low profile gas block

  • Threaded for flash hider

  • Somewhere around or under $300



Not required, but nice:

  • Matched bolt

  • Fluting

  • Chrome lined (assuming above accuracy)

White Oak It's not black, but a bit of Norrells will fix that easy enough. And WOA makes great barrels.

Are YHM barrels mid or carbine length gas?  Doesn't say on their site.

Okay... after taking a closer look this may be just what the doctor ordered.  I would have preferred 1:7, but 1:8 would certainly be a good balance for using lighter ammo.

They have different lengths.

The one I just purchased was a carbine.

Ordered one this morning with the b-day discount code.  I'm very curious to check out the "hard blue" and liked that it comes with a matched bolt, gas block and tube.  I'll have a range report out once it's had a few sessions under its belt.

OK, newb question here. What is the difference between 5.56 and .223 Wylde. I saw that the LW barrels are chambered for .223 Wylde and thought that odd. I seem to learn something new here every day. I assume you can run 5.56 NATO through both chamberings.

The finish on my 18" Terabratus is perfect.  I am still waiting for my Mega upper/lower so no range report...coming soon.
