Barrel fits good in my Bushmaster xm15 shoots straight like the fact I can shoot 223 and 556 no problems installing like the fact already has threaded barrel for a muzzle brake try to to shoot 2 to 3 times a week would recommend

This is a Great barrel! Works well with my other parts can’t complain easy to install and not too heavy and made well. A good addition for your AR will definitely buy trybe items more often since they holdUp well against wear and tear

Nicely built, good coating. Great value especially cause it was on sale! Not to heavy. Haven't shoot it yet, but quality looks similar to my FAXXON barrel. Riffleling looks nice, gas port looks clean without any burrs. It's also dimpled which was nice. Oh yeah! It was in stock! Processing my order did take weeks either like my current orders.

After zero was achieved I chewed out a 1 inch hole at 100 yards with only a few flyers (probably ammo) as I was using training ammo because well the good stuff isn't getting wasted on paper. That being said this barrel for the price is definitely worth buying.

So far so good, for $130 I’m extremely impressed. This thing is dead on. 2020 is a weird year and apparently my whole state is on fire, so fire restrictions won’t let me shoot outside at the moment. That being said, I could only “zero” at 25 yards At my indoor range, accounting for POA/POI with a ballistics calculator and my reloads. It’ll do for now, but once sighted at 25 yards it was dead on– unsupported 1” groups. But “pics or it didn’t happen,” right? I typically expect the whole “you get what you pay for” and the barrel that I had was trashed. It was time for a new one, and this one was a little less than my Faxon, so I figured what the heck, it’ll be better than a worn out barrel, right? RIGHT. Honestly, it shoots just as well as when the Faxon was new. I know it’s a relatively new company, but I’d buy it before they decide to up the price. If this barrel is still this accurate after 10,000 rounds, I’ll post another review. I am extremely impressed with this thing. Buy it, you won’t regret it. My only gripes are that the finish on the threads is a little gritty, but some WD40 when threading the muzzle device will clean it up. Just remove it and wipe both mating surfaces before torquing it. The other gripe is that the barrel extension was a little tight in my upper, but a scotch brite pad to polish the receiver and extension got a good snug fit that almost slid perfectly in, just needed some persuasion. All-in-all: five stars hands down. I’d buy it again even if it only makes it to 10,000 because then I know I got more than my money’s worth. Heck, this level of accuracy for $130 is more than my money’s worth; you just can’t go wrong with this barrel.

Mine was bought last year, and I have taken it out 4x, about a 350 round count. I handload my ammo, and have various 55FMJ, 62 g Hornadys, 62 steel core, and 68 Hornady BTHP shot out of the Trybe 16" Wydle bbl thus far. The 55 grain FMJ loads shot respectibly, the 62 weight bullets were so-so, and the 68 grain BTHPs didnt agree at all with this Trybe bbl. Anyway, I do like the barrel's contour, it was shipped with plastic caps on both ends. Nitrite finish is hanging in there. I noticed at little bit of tool chatter in the chamber when I was assembling, which now (after 350 rds) is starting to collect brass smear. I Go/No-Go gauged the chamber before assembley with a with its intended bolt, all good. Overall, I think the barrel is safe. The gas journal zone was true .750" when mic'd (the gas journal is 1.100" in length…Not FSB mountable). Muzzle threads were acceptable, free of lash and slop. Muzzle is chamfered around bore. I will clean up this barrel/upper, and put it under someone's Christmas Tree, someone I know who is a casual/infrequent shooter
