    It’s a nice barrel shots great but for the price could be better. No dimpling really sucks and the gas port always lands on a land and not in a grove I have bought 3 and this will be my last one at least at the price they charge they are better barrels for the same money just my thoughts

    The best HF chrome lined barrel on the market. DD 5.56 barrels always pass my function gauge and head space gauge test every time. I have examples of other top brand HFB's that didn't. DD has the correct minimum go gauge of 1.4646 just like the Colt TDP requires and has the best chamber and bore plating I have seen with my bore gauge..DD is my first choice for 5.56 HFB..

    Have a custom built D/D already, Excellent! Decided to do a lightweight Clone with this Barrel. Chrome bolt, Anderson receiver, Diamond sights,Red dot and WOW, ATimney yellow 3 lbs trigger. There are the cheap AR,s, Middle of the line type and top of the Line, D/D is on that Level. When the Zombies come D/D won't let you down! I have 9 AR's in case one breaks down?
    My D/D is on top.

  5. VERY VERY VERY, YES...

    I bought this barrel about a month ago. I have it in an LMT/BCM build. The fit and finish with all parts I've mated it with is certainly eyebrow raising... just spectacular. Flawless finish inside and out. The crown, chamber, throat is impressive and the chrome plating is immaculate. I have only shot this with irons so far from the bench, so slow firing, but I can say that even with older eyes I was surprised that ten rounds routinely went in the same ragged .75" hole. From experience, I'm sure, with an magnified optic, this is an MOA barrel. Yes, very.

    After much research I installed the DDLW 16" barrel on my custom LW AR15 build. The quality is superb and it is very accurate. I've owned it now for almost 2 years and I am happy with my decision.

    Awesome barrel. No break in required, long lasting and shoots MOA with cheap green tip ammo! No point in running any other barrel.
