.223/.300 barrels

hottubcliffordjames · Oct 29, 2014

I am look into doing Another .223/.300 blackout build. What are good barrels to use? I got a aero precision email and they have good specials on barrels so I am trying to get a bead on what's good so I can start building.

Appreciate any/all input. Might do either a rifle or pistol configuration.

Very happy with my AR Stoner 300 barrel.

Regardless of what you hear, DPMS offers fine 223/556 barrels too.

Good prices and good quality on both.

There's lots of GOOD barrels, there's GREAT barrels too.

The better question is - what's your budget, and your expectations?

I have 10.5" noveske barrels on my 5.56 sbr and 300blk sbr.

Lilja on my last .223 build. Noveske on my .300.

Wilson Combat makes good barrels, have one of there recon profile in .300Blk. I'm happy with it. :thumbsup:

ill have a 8.5 300aac rainer finished soon, I have a noveskee 18" 5.56, a BCM lightweight 14.5 5.56 and a few 16" 5.56 PSA. I like them all. It really depends what do you want to do with the rifle and how much do you want to spend.

My 18" build I wanted as acurate as I could afford so I spent my money in the barrel, BCG, and trigger.

My 14.5 I wanted as light weight as I could make it so I spent my money accordingly to that.

my PSA rifles are just your typical carbine and all shoot just fine 0-200 yards.

Thanks for the input fellas, anyone have info on black hole weaponry barrels?

DaemonAssassin · Oct 30, 2014

There was a GB on their barrels a while back, and from what I remember, BHW barrels are decent barrels for the money.

It might be a good idea to decide on the budget, cartridge, profile, and approx. barrel length before looking for a maker...

Engage just installed a 10.5" White Oak 300 BLK barrel on a spare Engage upper I had. Gong to shoot it this weekend.

Just to be numerical semantic , a .223/300 is a totally different ctg , and one not AR compatable.

The .300 Whisper/ .300 BO / .221-300 are closely related , AR compatable ctgs.

I showed him a 223 vs 300BLK on Saturday and he laid a live chicken. Apparently I'm a bad influence, because he is considering a 300BLK build.

Be sure to get the proper twist rate if you plan to shoot subsonics. Not every barrel is correctly rifled for them.

Hmm, then I'll be a worse one then -

I hadn't seen this before, please elaborate.

Sorry homes, I am debating between another .223 or go all out do a. 300 blk my fault I should have been more concise

The 338 and BMG aren't my personal items. Since this nanny bullshyt state banned the semi Barrett 50's, I'm going to save up for a 20 mike mike.

(Never got into 338LM.)
