Nearly two decades of building the finest custom tactical AR-15 rifles have given us the insight to develop a comprehensive line of stainless-steel, match-grade barrels that deliver superior accuracy, reliability, and longevity for your next custom AR rifle project.

All Wilson Combat Match Grade AR-15 barrels are precisely crafted from the finest American-made 416R rifle-rated steel on computer-controlled equipment to our exacting technical specifications. These proven barrels feature a hand-polished bore and feed ramps, and undergo a rigorous final inspection process that ensures your new barrel meets your most demanding expectations. All barrels feature crisp CNC markings, a precision muzzle crown, and a chamber and gas port optimized for reliability.

Wilson Combat Recon Tactical Profile Barrels

The Recon Tactical is our vision of what a practical, all-around medium profile AR barrel for rigorous tactical training, hardcore hunting, or all-purpose field applications should be. The Recon can do it all very well. The fluted barrel model reduces weight even further and increases the barrel’s stiffness with no loss of practical accuracy.

5.56 NATO

5.56 NATO was developed in the United States and initially chambered in the M16 rifle. It is the standard cartridge for NATO forces and many non-NATO countries. It is derived from, but not identical to, the .223 Remington cartridge. We use a NATO mil-spec chamber in our barrels that is reliable and safe to fire both 5.56 and .223 Remington rounds. This common and easy-to-shoot cartridge is ideal for defense, training, and small- to medium-game hunting.
