MikedaddyH Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 223 Wylde ... Takes 223Rem and 556nato ammo. Kind of a best of both worlds barrel. Looking at a 1:7" twist or a 1:8" twist barrel. Looking for input ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I have an 18 inch 223 Wylde from Armalite, 1:8 twist stainless, it shoots lights out with whatever I feed it. Best accuracy has been with 77 grain SMK's but any average quality 55 grain load will do one MOA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted September 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Been looking at 16"carbine and 18"mid gas systems. I have seen a bunch of barrels under $99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I have 2 223W rifles. One is a Bear Creek Arsenal 16" carbine. Last fall, Susan was hitting 600 yds with Hornady 73g match ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I've got 3 or 4 or them, Mike. They deliver. The Wylde chamber is the one to go after, and it's not gonna matter whether it's 7 or 8" twist. Both the Mk12s are Wylde chamber, the 16" precision gun is Wylde chamber 8" twist, and I'm pretty sure there's another one in the pile, at least.

MikedaddyH Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Got an email from KMT yesterday, barrels are back in stock so I ordered one. I have a upper and lower and a 12" rail. Will need a BCG and a Buttstock setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrade Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 built one with a 16" BA SPR with a Wylde chamber, Far more accurate than I will ever be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BA SPR-Profile barrels are ALL BADASS. That's my go-to barrel, in my go-to profile, from my go-to manufacturer. I have PILE of these things. They all excel...

MikedaddyH Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Talked with KMT and it appears my order, "Fell through the cracks", he said the next batch is coming in within two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. Probably only need two. So close. Those shiny red fixtures just set this gun off ! Found a BCG in Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
