LMT Barrel conversion review and accuracy report, before conversion vs. after D Wilson conversion

[matt33]

I'm going to post a quick review, as I was unable to find much information relating to LMT barrel conversion accuracy, specifically relating to how a barrel performed before sending it to D Wilson for conversion versus post conversion results.

I'm happy to say accuracy seems unchanged following the barrel conversion, which is to say it is very good.

I used the exact same ammunition, loaded on the same day with the same lots of components. This is hand loaded 77 grain Sierra match king, but other ammunition from AAC produced repeatable results as well. All groups were 10 rounds fired at 100 yards.

The barrel I'm focusing on today is a 16" Bartlein 223 from Craddock Precision. Prior to sending it off, I fired this group from a mocked up traditional AR upper:

I just came back inside from firing this group post D Wilson conversion:


That high shot was my first round, some of that might have been me, dealing with 20-30 mph wind and I'm not necessarily a precision shooter. That said, I'm very pleased with the results. I wanted to document my very unscientific findings, just in case anyone was curious.

Thanks for sharing your findings

Thanks for getting it done. You also did a Daniel Defense 14.5 SOCOM profile barrel for the same rifle, that thing also hammers.

I have multiple D. Wilson LMT conversions, all of which are Proof CF barrels and every single one shoots amazing. I’ve had him chop a couple of factory barrels as well and I noticed no accuracy degradation. Best in the biz for this service, full stop.
