Caliber Notes: 5.56 NATO was developed in the United States and initially chambered in the M16 rifle. It is the standard cartridge for NATO forces as well as many non-NATO countries. It is derived from, but not identical to, the .223 Remington cartridge. We use a NATO, mil-spec chamber in our barrels that is reliable and safe to fire both 5.56 and .223 Remington rounds. This common and easy-to shoot cartridge is ideal for defense, training and small-medium game hunting.

This is my third Wilson Combat barrel. I have a 16" 6.8x43 SPC Tactical Hunter, an 8" .300 BLK, and this one (16" 5.56 Ultralight Hunter). All of them are more accurate than any other general-purpose AR barrel I've used. All of them are properly gassed. The quality of the barrels is superb.
These are lightweight and accurate.
Built a lightweight rifle and this thing shoots great. excellent truck gun
