    I bought on of these a little while back to finish out a nice AR build

    M15A4 RIFLE BARREL SST. NM ASSEMBLY(ALSO FOR 15TN) 20"BBL

    It is a factory Armalite match barrel that they use in their "T" model rifles.
    I bought it because of the cost was reasonable and I won't be competing with it I figured it would be fine for what I was doing. Besides I could not afford a $400.00 barrel

    Last time I went out I broke it in according to Armalite's Desires. Pretty standard break in procedure.

    Anyway sighted it in at 100 yards and then shot for groups.

    Very nice I shot 60 gr Hornady loads I worked up for a different rifle. Nice tight 3/4" or less.
    Than I ran some 77 gr SMK loads I had and it tightened up to half inch or less.

    pretty much one ragged hole.

    I did not snap pics but I have a witness :)

    I would recommend considering these barrels. Not exactly cheap but it performs like the more expensive models so far.

    Just makes me want to go shoot some more :)

    Yeah, my brother and I both bought the 24" Armalite T barrels when 762 Sass had them on sale for $200.
    We've both gotten some really good groups from them. They're also 1 in 8" twist and the 77grains really shine.
