A Target Barrel Light Enough for All Day Carry!

The BSF .223 Wylde Carbon Fiber AR-15 Barrels are built around a 416R stainless steel inner core wrapped in an advanced carbon fiber jacket for enhanced strength and rapid cooling. The result is the rigidity and stability of a heavy target barrel without the enormous weight penalty - your rifle is just as accurate but much easier to lug around! Since the carbon jacket on BSF .223 Wylde Carbon Fiber AR-15 Barrels contact only 5% of the inner barrel, there is an air pocket between the two that allows air to flow freely and keep the inner barrel cool. Vent holes in the carbon fiber jacket let the heat out, promoting a convection cooling process that results in a barrel that can be handled with bare hands, even after dumping two full-size 30-round mags right after each other. .223 Wylde chamber is optimized to give excellent performance with both civilian .223 Rem and military 5.56 NATO ammo 1"-8 rifling stabilizes a wide range of bullet weights .875" O.D. bull/target barrel contour Match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel is double stress relieved to further resist heat warping Three times stronger than steel, the carbon fiber wrap on BSF .223 Wylde Carbon Fiber AR-15 Barrels maintains outstanding rigidity and strength while keeping the barrel remarkably light.

Great barrel (01/11/2017)

Very good barrel. I have put this barrel on 2 AR15s. Both shot under 3/4 of an inch with factory ammo with 53gr bullets. Ran a bore cam through both of them. The bore looks good, no burrs on the gas port hole and no dings on the crown. If you want a light weight accurate barrel this one is it.

Light and Accurate (08/08/2017)

I was looking to loose a little weight off the AR carbine I was building but didn't want to sacrifice accuracy or durability. So I took a shot and got one of these as it seemed to fill so roles.

I combined it with an Aero Upper/Lower combo, Superlative adjustable gas block, Geissele SSA trigger and other quality parts. Build was done by an accomplished gunsmith.

The results were outstanding. Started with some cold war surplus Malaysian 5.56 and got .7MOA groups at 100 yards off a bench. Then loaded up with the good stuff, Hornady 8126N. Got 1/2 MOA groups with that. Manufacturer claims thats what its capable of with good build and good ammo. I was blown away, never got that kind of accuracy out of a carbine before.

Its really an amazing product. Match grade accuracy, light weight and all sorts of good properties when it heats up. The carbon sleeve doesn't come into contact with the barrel along the length, just at the pressure points of the endcaps and gas block. They did some heavy duty engineering and tight tolerances to make sure that it fits perfectly and maintains proper tension, even when it gets hot.

Speaking of hot when the barrel does get hot you can still grip it because your holding the carbon shroud. The stiffness from the carbon means minimal deflection as it heats up and the gap with cooling holes means it will cool down faster. If your the type that really likes to heat things up with rapid fire the fact the carbon doesn't contact the barrel means it won't de-laminate under extreme conditions.

Finally I love the little finishing touches. A laser etched American flag and In god we trust on the ring at the end of the barrel.

I can't say its better or worse than a proof research barrel, but it is 5/8 the price. That makes it a great value for those who just can't blow that kind of bread on a barrel, but it is still a luxury item.
