The Wilson Combat Match Grade Barrel (brand part no. TR-556RCRG18FT8) is an 18-inch, stainless steel barrel chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO and machined to Wilson Combat’s Recon Tactical profile with fluting and a 1:8-inch twist. Wilson Combat crafts the barrel from American-made 416R rifle-rated steel on computer-controlled equipment, then hand-polishes the bore and feed ramps for a smoother chambering cycle. A precision-cut muzzle crown and a chamber and gas port optimized for reliability round out a barrel built for shooters who want match accuracy in a custom AR-15 build.
