Ar 15 barrel at Urbarrifleman

I am thinking about asking to carry the Wilson AR-15 stainless steel barrels. I'm thinking what I will do is use one single heavy contour underneath the hand guard with a standard gas length. Then I would order them at full length and then cut them to whatever length the customer wants and thread them.

Input?
 
I think it's a great idea.

Over the 40 or so ar15 barrels I've use, 80% of them have been Wilson blanks. These days I'm only using Wilson's. My accuracy testing in the past has been from prone with a sling. My 'acceptance criteria' is at least some groups 1/2 MOA or better.

For full disclosure, I would stay loyal to the gunsmith who is currently finishing barrels for me.
 
The amount of part numbers can explode even if you limit the conversation to one section and port length.

I think you can do it if you limit all the choices to the ones for your typical clients. The list can get very long, but you will be able to narrow it down to keep yourself from going crazy.

I will also agree that Wilson makes a great barrel blank for an AR. Good Luck!

If I were in the market for a new AR-15 barrel and Urbanrifleman had them available he would be my first choice no doubt. Full disclosure I do not see me needing one for quite some time.

I would take one in a heartbeat. Im wanting a wilson in 12.5" length in 6.8SPCII but they don't offer it
 
I'm all in. I don't own an AR yet but have been flirting with the idea of getting one. This would pretty much seal the deal for me.

I think you would sell out in no time.

it would be nice if you offer carbine and mid length
lots of people already have factory carbine length gas systems but end up upgrading to Mid length for better impulse etc
I know after I tried my first Mid I started getting rid of my Carbine Lengths
---
either way
if you can also ensure the gas block hole is centered in the groove like Mr. Tooley does
From what I read, he did that for the military, and they were adamant about it
Maybe get with him and get some pointers on that

I don't think its very critical except for the hole erosion lasting longer which is a good selling point if the barrels are more than $200

I was not thinking about carrying an entire line of AR-15 barrels. Just a standard length gas system service rifle / match rifle 223.
 
The Mk12 Mod 0, 1, and H barrels have become very popular with the clone crowd. Vendors get $400 and up for them, if they can keep them in stock.

Also, drilling the gas port between rifling lands is preferred.
