The ROSCO Purebred SPR Barrel is an 18-inch .223 Wylde AR-15 barrel built to enhance the performance of the original SPR pattern (ROSCO part no. PB-18-SPR-223W-7-R). The SPR contour is designed around cold bore accuracy while keeping a good balance of weight for offhand and supported shooting. Gas ports are sized to match the most popular precision bullet weights and suppressor use, so the barrel runs correctly whether you are shooting suppressed or bare. It is a strong option for an 18-inch SPR or DMR-pattern AR-15 build, with a 1:7-inch twist to stabilize a wide range of .223 Wylde bullet weights.
