AR 15 18" barrel

[xxkornxx56]

Hey guys I am looking for some input on my current project. I am looking for a quality yet affordable 18 inch AR 15 barrel in 5.56. I have been leaning towards a stainless barrel so any recommendations for a stainless would be appreciated. Thanks for the help!

I have a Wilson (not Wilson Arms) 18" ss bull 1:8 on one of mine, it has the Wylde chamber, very accurate, not expensive.

White Oak Armament makes a quality 18" stainless SPR AR barrel.

I built one w/ a BCM 18" barrel that shot terrific. I specifically wanted a rifle-length gas system, which limited my options some. My barrel did OK with the ammo I ran through it, but I understand the 18" barrels with rifle-length gas systems can be touchy with lighter loads.

I second White Oak Armament; I have one of their 18" stainless barrels with the 223 Wylde chamber, but they are a little on the expensive side, and looks like out of stock right now. I would recommend AR Performance as well, but they are not stainless and are out of stock too.

I guess I'm not much help...

I have a bcm 18" ss410 upper and it's amazingly accurate. It eats up even 55gr but it shines with the 69 & 75 grain

Here's the real deal. Mark 12 Mod 0 SPR barrel in 416R stainless by Douglas. Kinda spendy, but you'd have pretty much the gold standard in 18" AR barrels: AVAILABLE ITEMS | HIGH CALIBER SALES, LLC

Check with Compass Lake Engineering. They carry Kreiger and Douglas barrels there. Frank White does a great job clambering them too. I got an 18" Douglas SPR barrel for my MK12 from them.

Black Hole Weaponry, Wilson, WOA are all (not in any particular order) good options.

I just bought a Rainier Arms Match grade barrel. I hope to finish the build in the next couple of weeks. It is chambered in the .223 Wylde.

Another vote for White Oak Armament SS 18" AR barrels.

I have a Douglas in my PRI 18" upper. PRI has the stainless and black 18" in stock.
