I have took this build out several times and I am very pleased. I paired this barrel with a Mega forged receiver set and a Zev handguard. I also used a CMC 3.5 pound component trigger (amazing trigger). I did not do any type of break in period with the barrel. However when I got the barrel I inspected it with a bore scope and gave it a nice oil bath and rub down. It has performed almost flawlessly so far. I have about 350 plus rounds through it. I am not one of those "sub MOA snipers" that shoots .35 inch groups consistently and appear to pop up in every barrel review and Reddit forum. I don't even measure it, but it is a nice tight group every time I shoot. I can put 20 shots in the size of a small dinner plate at 50 to 75 yards from a prone position. I spent 23 years in the Army, that will get the job done, believe me. So I would say I am more than pleased with this barrel and I trust it with my life. Is it a match worthy sub MOA barrel, maybe, possibly, could be? I know I am very pleased with it so far. If you are interested then I would say go for it.

The barrel was easy to install and fit like a glove! I looked up the "break-in" instructions and did just that. The group was much smaller than the factory barrel. I'll be taking it out tomorrow to continue trying different ammo.
USAmazing accuracy- blown away
This barrel is truly impressive. I built a rifle on a billet receiver and it was a thermal fit. This barrel loved 62 grain black sheep ammo but holy cow- its favorite was 77 grain bonefrog 5.56 ammo. It was ridiculously accurate. I was sighting in a new scope and this barrel performed so well. Highly recommend.
