ODIN Works 18" 223 Wylde Intermediate 3-Gun Profile Stainless Steel Barrel w/ FREE tunable GB 1:8 Twist - B-223-18-3G-INT-TG

When building an AR, there are multiple factors and tolerances to consider. When you are building an AR for 3-Gun competition, these factors change somewhat. The accuracy and reliability of the platform you’re building takes priority over many other factors. The ODIN Works 18 Intermediate 3-Gun Profile SS Barrel comes from the factory with the popular .223 Wylde chamber, so both the .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammo can feed, fire, extract, and eject without a problem. It comes with an Intermediate length gas system set up, the 1/2×28 muzzle thread pattern to fit standard AR muzzle devices, factory M4 feed ramps, and a Button-Rifled 1:8 twist rate (meaning as the bullet travels down the barrel, it makes 1 complete rotation every 8 inches). This hand-lapped 18 inch barrel weighs in at just 2.16 pounds and has the ODIN Works factory 3-Gun barrel profile! On top of all of that, this ODIN Works barrel comes with a FREE Tunable Stainless Steel Gas Block that allows you to tune your AR for various types of shooting, and a FREE Intermediate Gas Tube. These two freebies are a great bonus and save you some money on your build!

*NOTE: The .223 Wylde is a mix of the 5.56×45 NATO external chamber measurements and lead angle, but also utilizes the tighter .224 free bore diameter of the .223 Remington cartridge for better accuracy potential. As we all know, you could not fire 556 NATO ammo in a .223 Rem chamber due to the pressure differential and slight chamber size differences. The .223 Wylde solves this issue and gives the shooter the best of both worlds.

*NOTE: 416R is a Crucible brand steel and it was formulated specifically for barrels. Most types of steel, including normal 416SS are not designed to be used in freezing temperatures. But this steel was designed to operate in arctic temperatures, up to -40F. 416R also has greater accuracy potential than normal 416SS and 4150 steel due to its ability to take highly defined rifling and machining cuts.
