Wilson Combat 16" Stainless Steel Fluted Recon Barrel - 5.56 NATO$308.95
Availability: In Stock
The Wilson Combat Recon 5.56 NATO 16" stainless steel barrel is a match-grade AR-15 barrel engineered for shooters who want accuracy and durability without sacrificing field practicality. Built from 416R stainless steel, this barrel delivers the precision you'd expect from a Wilson Combat product while maintaining the versatility needed for both extended range sessions and hunting applications. The 16-inch length strikes a balance between velocity and handling, making it equally at home on a carbine for tactical work or a hunting rifle setup.
Wilson Combat machines every Recon barrel to mid-length gas system specifications, so it works seamlessly with any standard .750-inch gas block—giving you flexibility during your build. The matte bead-blasted stainless finish resists corrosion and looks professional without flashy aesthetics. The 1:8 precision button rifling is designed to stabilize a broad range of 5.56 loads, and the M4-style feed ramps ensure reliable feeding across different ammunition types. The 1/2x28 threaded muzzle accepts standard suppressors and muzzle devices, letting you configure the rifle to your preferences.
Whether you're assembling a do-it-all AR for the range, hunting, or defensive use, this barrel brings Wilson Combat's 20+ years of tactical rifle building expertise to your build. The dimpled gas block seat holds your chosen gas block securely under recoil impulse, and the match-grade machining translates to consistent, repeatable accuracy over the barrel's service life.
