Wilson Combat Recon 16" .300 Blackout Match Grade Barrel

The Wilson Combat Recon 16" .300 Blackout barrel is the premium choice for shooters who want a 16-inch .300BLK rifle barrel rather than a short pistol/SBR setup. At a true 16 inches, the barrel avoids SBR registration by itself while still giving builders a stainless match-grade .300BLK option.

Wilson Combat machines the Recon barrel from 416R stainless steel, the same alloy used in precision rifle competition barrels, and hand-polishes the bore for a mirror-smooth surface that resists fouling and delivers consistent shot-to-shot velocity. The Recon Tactical profile is a round contour, slightly heavier than a pencil for accuracy and barrel rigidity but lighter than a full bull, giving you a barrel that shoots like a precision tube without feeling like one on the shoulder. The 1:7 twist stabilizes the full weight range of .300BLK projectiles from 110-grain supersonics to heavy 220-grain subsonics.

The pistol-length gas system at 16 inches is the detail that separates Wilson Combat from cheaper match barrels. Most 16" .300 Blackout barrels run carbine gas, which is forgiving but overgassed with supersonic ammunition. Wilson sizes the gas port specifically for this length and caliber combination, tuning the system to cycle reliably across supersonic and subsonic loads without beating the action. The trade-off is that pistol gas at 16 inches is less forgiving of gas port deviation, you cannot drift the port size and expect the rifle to run, but Wilson's QC tolerances are tight enough that the barrels ship correctly tuned out of the box. 5/8x24 muzzle threads accept any standard .30 caliber muzzle device or suppressor, and the glass bead blasted stainless finish is durable and corrosion resistant.
