Krieger AR-15 Barrels: A Quick Look
I typically purchase my stainless steel Krieger AR-15 barrels directly from Krieger Barrels, Inc and have them do the chamber, port and finish etc. Krieger utilizes a four land/groove arrangement and it is known by many that Krieger’s single point cut rifling is superb. Krieger’s 416 stainless steel barrels receive an in-house cryogenic treatment are twice hand-lapped; once after reaming and again after rifling. The .224” Krieger AR-15 barrels have a land to land diameter of 0.218” which reportedly helps maintain accuracy for longer intervals in between cleaning.
I’ve owned 16”, 20” and 24” Krieger AR-15 barrels. I’ve owned Krieger AR-15 barrels with 1:9” twists and 1:7.7” twists. I’ve owned Krieger AR-15 barrels with 223 Remington and 5.56 Match chambers. Every Krieger AR-15 barrel that I’ve owned has produced 10-shot groups with extreme spreads of less than ¾ MOA.
