A buddy of mine is in the process of putting a long range upper together with my help.. Here is the unboxing and simple review. This barrel has not been cleaned and still contains many burrs and debris in the barrel from milling. Some good cleaning and a break in will eliminate the imperfections and bring the finish to a good workable surface. If you have any questions pertaining to barrels and proper break in, please don’t hesitate in asking.

How do these GM barrels compare to Daniel defense or bcm or faxon or Colt? I heard Daniel defense is the best.
Are these barrels quality made?
Did they ever fix the length on these barrels? Last I heard, their 20" barrels were shorter than they are supposed to be.
I just ordered the Green Mountain M20 barrel for a 20" AR build I've got in the works for this coming Spring. It's a fluted 416 stainless .223 Wylde 20" barrel with a 1/8" twist and the contour is in between a heavy barrel and an M4/Gov profile. I want this 20" build to be lighter and slimmer than my current 20". Price wasn't too bad, $217 shipped. I tend to prefer stainless as opposed to chrome lined CMV barrels…..and it seems the market is FLOODED with bull and heavy 20" barrels. Finding a lighter weight 20" isn't easy….and many of the lighter ones are 1/7" twist….which I didn't want.
I've read great things about Green Mountain, so hopefully it'll turn out to be a great build. Cheers!!
I'm debating on their 18" fluted 223 wylde
I really enjoyed the video especially the detailed pictured shown towards the end. Thank you for providing the quality.
I work at Green Mountain Rifle Barrell as a CNC operator. We most certainly take pride in our craftsmanship and our barrells receive a tedious QC inspection.
Currently waiting on my GM 18" stainless heavy barrel 1:7.7 twist got all the rest of my parts lined up
I have that same barrel from GM. It's been great on my rifle.
I'm getting ready to start building out my latest AR. It's going to be a SPR. I don't have the funds (or desire) for a multi kilo-buck rifle so the GM 18" Wylde rifle length fluted, at $189 is the front runner right now.
I got a 16"mid from them and it was beautiful. Not even a finger print or bur. Yours looks used. Btw i love mine.
