AR-15/M16 223 WYLDE MATCH BARRELS Reviews & Ratings

I purchased the 16” mid length spr in 223wylde barrel to rebarrel an ar I had. And at 100 yards it’s submoa, and I’m not the best shot, and don’t have the best glass on top. Now that was with 77gr otm. But the accuracy did blow me away. If you’re in the market you can’t go wrong with this barrel.

I've built about 45 ARs over a period of 12 yrs, including a few with WhiteOak barrels. A barrel that is tight going in the receiver is a good thing. It's not a barrel problem. Several of the better Upper Receiver manufacturers make them to tolerances that require heat to place the barrel extension into the receiver. A heat gun is a common tool in building a good quality URG, Don't blame the manufacturer; do some research and solve the problem. That said - the ARs with the WhiteOak barrels have produced accuracy on par with barrels that cost double the price when using ammo that has bullet weights of 64 gr and up.

I've only put 80 rounds thru it as yet, but it is holding sub-moa groups out to 300 yds. Waiting for the cross winds to settle before trying longer distances.

Received this barrel today from brownells, installed and zeroed, then proceeded to shoot 5 sub-moa groups from 100 to 600 yards. Best group was actually 1/3 moa at 300 yards! I am very impressed and will use white oak next time I need a barrel.

I finally bit the bullet and bought this barrel . Brownells had this on sale and couldn't resist. I put it on a Vltor MUR upper with Yankee Hill Todd Jerrett forearm ( all from Brownells ). Just got it installed and test fired . I done a quick break in procedure of fire 1-clean , fire 2- clean , fire 2 -clean , fire 4 clean , fire 5 - clean , done . Thru out break in with cheap 55 grain PMC I was getting about 1 moa , not bad . I switched to IMI 77 gr smk mod 1 and was just under 1moa @100 . Today I went out on another shooting and was amazed at the accuracy . The cheap 55gr PMC was right at 1moa while the IMI 77gr smk was 0.75" @100yds . I think this barrel takes a bit more break in shots than others . It's at about 75 RDS and it's getting better and better. Here's a tip - bed the barrel with some blue loctite !!!

The previous reviewer may not have the right combination. I put this Barrel together with a Aero Precision Monolithic Upper, Colt Bolt and Carrier and an AR Gold Trigger. This Barrel loves 55 Gr. V-Maxes and 55 Gr. Nosler BT Bullets. It will also shoot the cheaper Hornady 55gr, SP Bulk Bullets Great. This Rifle shot several 3/8" 3 shot groups at 200 Meters from the Bench with the Hornady 55 V-Max. This is with no fancy reloads like I do for my Bolt Actions. Just Lapua Brass and Match Primers on a Dillon 650. To be honest, my Bolt Actions have a hard time keeping up with this Rifle at the shorter Ranges.

I use 1" target spots as targets @100yards with 5 shot groups. 60 grain Nosler with 25.5 grains H 4895 and rem. 7 1/2 primers rem. brass, and 65 grain Sierra game kings with 25.7 grains H varget and rem 7 1/2 primers Lake city brass. COL 2.260 all rounds. Scope is weaver 3-12 x 44 kespa ill mil dot with Nikon P series mounts, and ARFX Skeleton stock, PWS muzzle brake, Chip McCormick 3.5 lbs trigger ,Magpul 20 rd. mag., Monstrum Tactical 10" key mod. For a 9 lbs gun. Look out Mr. Piggy. This barrel makes the difference...

I purchased this barrel to replace a 2 MOA (with match grade high end ammo) FN barrel that I originally bought for my first build which is an SPR mk12 type build. I should have bought this barrel from the get go. I am totally floored by the aesthetic looks and workmanship in this barrel and of course by the accuracy! I have it mounted to an Aero precision upper, lighting off the loads with a G2s-e two stage match trigger pulling at about 4.2lbs, and zeroing in with a Trijicon Accupower 3-9x40 scope, just perfect for my tastes. Ill get to the point. Out of 16 different hand loads I put together using Varget and IMR 8208 powder and Some sierra match kings and nosler custom competition bullets, I had seven that shot 1 MOA to .3 MOA. I just ordered some higher end factory loads including blackhills 77 grain mk262 mod 1 to further do some testing and I ordered about a thousand 77 and 69 grain SMKs and TMKs to begin loading up cartridges to hunt and train with. I am very very very happy and I recommend ANYONE who is looking for a good $300 barrel to buy white oak Armament!

I've been shooting AR15's for about two years now and decided to build my second rifle to be as accurate as possible. I chose this barrel and couldn't be more pleased. I'm shooting half inch 5 shot groups with this barrel @100yds and I'm sure it would shoot even better with a better shooter behind it. I will be buying the 16" version for another build. Thank you White Oak and Brownells!

This is my first AR-15 barrel that I have used. It seems to be a great barrel. I was on limited funds for my build and this barrel was the only part that I splurged on. I have shot around a hundred rounds out of this barrel. I have only shot CHEAP ammo so far and have had a few sub-moa groups. That is impressive considering I'm shooting the cheapest stuff I can get my hands on, and my trigger and scope sucks. I am really excited to see what it can do with some good reloads, and a better trigger. I did a lot of research prior to buying this barrel. The reason that I went with this over some of the other barrels. Is because I didn't see any negative reviews anywhere. Look around for yourself, I doubt that you can find anyone on any site that badmouths White Oak. In this day and age that is HUGE.
