norbs007 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Anybody here using one for their AR, specifically for 3-gun? Thoughts on them? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dauntedfuture Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I used to shoot a Wilson barrel, not sure if that's Wilson arms. If it is, they made the barrels for eagle arms among other back in the day and they are button rifled. I suppose provided its a 1-7 16" to 18" it will work fine but your barrel life might be a little shorter than some of the other barrels out there. My three gun rifle currently wears a Daniel Defense barrel; they are CHF and should last a little longer. Rainer arms has a money back guarantee that looks quite attractive on one of their 18" SPR barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Wilson Arms supplies blanks to a lot of companies. Nordic and White Oak are two that use them. I see they are now selling barrels under their own name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter115 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The DPMS Mk12 barrel is also from Wilson. I have one and it shoots very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbs007 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Good feedbacks, looking into a 16" mid-length or a 17" rifle-length if somebody makes one. I checked Nordic and they have some at a really good price. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use one of these: http://shopwilsoncombat.com/Wilson-Combat-Match-Grade-Barrel-556-NATO-Recon-Tactical-16-1-8-Twist-Stainless/productinfo/TR-556RC16-18/ They have many other variations in stock.

mngunguy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I believe JP barrels are also Wilson Arms stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redial Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 For years, they were "the best $10 barrel you can buy!" but they've upped their game quite a bit over the last ten years or so, supplying barrels to Rock River, Armalite and many others. I won a State Service Rifle championship with a Wilson barrel (NRA Highpower) - they shoot just fine but seem to wear out at about 3k rounds. YMMV, of course Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different Wilson than what was questioned. Wilson Arms claims to be the largest barrel maker in the country, supplying barrels to companies like Ruger. At least they did.
