I do not care if you're sponsored or not if a company sends you barrels you put out great video's keep it up.

I put caliber specific dust covers on all my uppers. I specifically look for the ones that are laser engraved on both sides (open or closed).

Every week that goes by without a JRB video I die a little on the inside. **rubs his firearms**

WOA barrels have gone on sale for Black Friday multiple years. Bought a 18” SPR barrel in 2017 for $195. I have no doubt the predator barrel will be a performer just as well. Enjoy retirement eighteen incher! You have served us well.

Awesome I been jonesing for a JRB vid

Thanks Johnny. Maybe someday you can use a 16" barrel which i would say 80% of shooters have. Keep up the great videos.

Thanks for putting the AR together for me :->.

75gr Hornady match is an awesome value and is sleeper that people should stock up on!

"We're driving straight through that gun show loophole" LMFAO Hell yeah brother!!!

Great hand me down! I'm sure your friend is going to love it.

“Great stuff, man!” Looking forward to seeing more videos from you, particularly with that new .223.

This AR15 testing video are awesome. I just started shooting AR15 on f-class at 600 yrds max, using WOA standard service rifle barrel Thanks for the videos

The 20 looks like it has some serious potential. Looking forward to the new series of 223 with the new barrel.

Wel well well, the sun has come out and brought Jrb back to the Jrb's posse with a video... 😀😀😀😀😀

I’ve got the WOA 18 SPR barrel on my precision build too! Love that thing! Farthest I’ve hit is 600yds on a 12 in gong. Glad to see you staying with WOA! Their shop is actually just across town from me!

please come back to this series

nice to see JRB vid, also love this format of shooting and discussing one load at a time

I always enjoy my target blowing around in the wind by 2-3"

You mentioned that the velocity increased more than you suspected for only 2 inches of barrel. The other and just as impactful factor is increased burn duration from the longer gas system, before it hits that gas port.

Dude,a thing of beauty Johnny, I want to upgrade to a 20 inch...dig the show......KEEP ON ROCKIN IT! Johnny's Reloading Bench.........................

Love your videos so keep up the great work. I do have to say I am sorry you have had problems with your PSA barrels. I have several and have had fantastic luck with them. I have had no problems with accuracy. Looking forward to your next video.

"They" is definitely a him Haha love your channel Johnny thanks for all the useful info. It's helped my reloading game out tremendously

Great Vid. The family member of yours that your giving that upper to is getting a great Barrel with plenty of life left in it, that’s awesome of you. I’m really gonna miss the 18” .223 vids, as I have the same WOA SPR Barrel and your Data was great! was fun comparing load work ups. The ACT trigger is definitely not a bench-rest trigger, but is better than a stock milspec. Make sure and run the included purple hammer spring, that will help. If you don’t have the purple hammer spring, the $10 JP precision enhanced reliability spring set improves the ACT greatly. Keep up the great vids.

I sense an inventory reduction sale coming on the 18" SPR barrels and an manufacturing overtime shift hired on for the 20" predator barrels....... Great job as always

We been shooting this same 20” barrel for over a year now. We have 4 of them betwixt all of us. They all like 25.5 8208xbr. 50vmax/zmax at 1.850-1.860 Ogive length Around 3300-3350 FPS in the barrels. Usually holds .75” or less at 100. Lot of times under .5”

Cool stuff! Great information. Thanks for sharing this.

Love your vids. I only started summer 2018 and your videos have taught me a ton. Keep em coming :)

I love this channel.

Awesome vid. Love getting new toys. Look forward to more on the new 20".

I just built an spr with a Criterrion 18” match Chrome lined barrel with rifle length gas and it’s a Tac driver!!! Sub-Moa all day with handloads and factory match Ammo! You should look into them for your next Barrel.

Glad to see a come back to 556/223. Seems like a small workup for each bullet type may be needed again though. Those 69/75/77 bullets should group better than that. 53gr smks is another great bullet used for service rifle.

Might I recommend that while this is a new barrel and you made a comment on wondering about velocity gains/losses over round count. You could also look into accuracy as well by choosing a load out of the ones you shot that groups well and has a small SD for velocity. Load up 100 rounds of this ammo and set it aside. Then every ~500 rounds or whatever round count take the rifle out and clean the bore. Then shoot two 5 round groups (the first for fowling) and record velocity and group size. I might also recommend doing this for all of your new barrels. This would be very interesting data for sure.

We've missed you!

This is my WOA 18" complete upper free floating varmint barrel fluted 1 in 7" twist attached to a Colt M-4 with a Geissele SSA-E trigger. Using reloaded Sierra 69 grain Match King bullets it shoots 3/8" five shot groups at 100 yards. I also have a Bushnell 4.5-18x40mm scope with Custom Turret label accurate out to 900 yards. The rings are 1" high QD aluminum. The group in the picture was with 65 grain Sierra Game kings which I use for deer..

I cerakote all mine different colors for different calibers. 6.5G is ODG, 22 Nosler is Stone Grey & 300BO pistol is white with the Imperial Insignia on it. Yes it is my Storm Trooper build. Still have two stripped lowers one spare SBA3 brace thinking of doing a 6.5G pistol build ODG of course. Haven't gotten into camo type stuff yet. Just started doing stencils came out good.

Great vid! I have a 24” bull barrel .936 at gas block and over inch under hand guard..... its my go to cause it shoots like a laser!!! You will love the 20”!!

Totally psyched about new barrel and furure videos. I just picked up a WOA 20" varmit 1 in 7 twist, fluted to reduce weight... shoots amazing

Johnny, love the vids. I recently upgraded my ar build with an 18" Faxon .223 Wylde gunner profile match barrel 1/8, in an effort to tighten my groups, but am still struggling with best groups right around 1 3/4" at 100yds. I have tried wide array of match grade factory ammo, Nosler and Lapua included, and recently started handloading with little improvement in group size (so far, 53gn Nosler Varmagedon over 27.5gn CFE being most promising). I have upgraded my optic to a Leupold Mark AR 6-18 and am shooting from a Caldwell stinger rest from a seated position. I am going nuts! When shooting, I have noticed that the rear of the rest does not keep the rear of the stock from shifting a bit. I am relatively new to handloading, with only a couple years under my belt. I don't believe that it is shooter error, as I have worked up very accurate handloads for my Tikka T3 .270 bolt gun, with best groups measuring sub .5 MOA. I am wondering if the inaccuracy is attributable to something other than the ammo that I've used, possibly the receiver/barrel extension fitment. I haven't seen any content related to that topic. I'll add that it is a decent fit, but I decided to shim it anyway with .002" ss stock to take up nearly all slop. Barrel is free floated. I have also considered shooting position or rear support as the culprit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Your friend is a lucky mystery person.

Lucky friend/associate/family member/ese/home boy who will be receiving this rifle. Clearly put together by a guy who values empirical knowledge. :) I'll take the speer loads out of a rare case of brand loyalty. They would do a number on small game.

Good to hear from you seems like it's been awhile. Good. Stuff. Thanks.

I have a 18" W.O.A. Predator barrel , haven't put it on yet. Looking forward to it soon.

Outstanding. Great vid & good data. Thanks Johnny.

Great video! I shoot a 20” Ballistic Advantage Premium fluted barrel with 1:8 twist un suppressed (for at least another month) and have had awesome results shooting the Hornady 62 gr BTHP with 25.1 gr of Varget over the last 3 years. I have a TON of those bullets and would be happy to send you some for testing on your new .223 upper if you would like. Thanks for the great content!

Coincidental timing. I just bought an 18” upper assembly. I went with an upper assembly that costs less than a White Oaks Armament barrel. We’ll see if it can shoot. I think it may be a rifle length gas system as well. Looking forward to more .223 videos. Keep up the good work!

I am interested in seeing the 20'' WOA barrel get better as time goes by and it gets broken a bit more. Please keep the videos coming, you rock at this. My day is also drastically improved if I get to watch you're videos while drinking coffee.

White Oak make some of the best barrels! My 18" will shoot 1/4" groups all day long.

I have a 20" Black Hole Weaponry 5.56 barrel. 1:8 twist. Couldn't get it to group anything other than Hornady 60gr VMAX and 68gr BTHP. But those two would group 1/2-1/3" at 100yds all day long over AA2200. Unlisted as a powder for 5.56, but I got 2750-2800fps with the 68gr and 2950-3000fps with the 60gr.

Good looking barrel. White oak is on the brands i want to try list!

SSALT and PEPR scope mounts, huh?

You are the best there ever was. And ever will be.

I can send you a odin to test; you channel is the best

Love the new barrel jrb. Can’t wait to see more of it.

Thanks as always for an informative no bs video....

Johnny, you’ve GOT TO TRY AR Performance barrels. They are absolutely amazing. You can get them in 5r or 3r rifling. Their 6.8spc barrels are absolute tac drivers. Please consider trying them. They will thread the barrels in the pitch you prefer.

I have a 20" whiteoak built upper and I run the 77gr bullets with 23.6gr ramshot tac, lc brass, cci primers

good stuff.

Next time you end up needing a new stock, you should look into the Luth-AR stocks. They’re a pretty good bit cheaper than the Magpul PRS stocks and they’re lighter too. I have their MBA-4 on my rifle and I love the huge flat bottom section and the fact that I can lock it down on my carbine buffer tube and it has no wobble at all.

Really like the aero enhanced uppers and handguards.

Ha, you went longer, I went shorter. Daniel Defense 12.5". It shoots 50g ballistic tips in 2.5" groups at 300 yards! Got a witness! Shoots the Speer 62g under moa also. Tried those after your video on them. Love the DD barrel.

Is the lucky person your grandpa? He did give you that sweet benchrest 6br....

10.00 trigger adjuster at Joe Bobs outfitters will make that trigger much lighter nicer and take the creep out !

A good way to keep track of your uppers is to buy a dust cover door that has the caliber engraved on it. ;-)

5 months and still not broken in

Good to see you with new content. I didn't know WOA barrels were under $300.00. I have a spare receiver set that isn't doing anything right now. (hint). As always I'm always looking forward to your content. ESPECIALLY YOUR 308 SEMI AUTO content. (another hint) Anyway. All of your content is top shelf. Good shooting to you sir.

Please do more with the 75 grain hornady BTHP!

I ever change my barrels, heavy profile barrels on a dmr or vermanit gun is the way to go.

Good timing. I’m using a LaRue 18” barrel right now and feel I’m at the barrels limit as far as accuracy. I can get MOA sometimes but I’m inconsistent. For example, I’ll shoot a 5 shot group, 4 will be dime size but one will be 1.5” out. I’m at my wits end. I’m looking at the White Oak SPR, or ?? I want to shoot MOA all day and anything better would be a bonus. I reload and have watched all your 223 videos.

Can't wait to watch this video. I run a 20 inch 223 Wilde hbar krieger with a 1x7.7 twist and it shoots everything amazing.

I know this is an old video but you should go with aero scope mount too. Cheaper and way lighter than the Burris and swfa

Johnny, you should look into reviewing the BARNS 85gr that fits into a GI issue mag. I love them!!

ALG is owned by Geissele so that trigger set up isn’t as bad as you would think it’s probably just a nose hair better then mil Spec

Great video, really sweet barrel!

i've been using the "wmd" nickel boron bcg and their barrels(1/8 twist) barrels and coudn't be happier

Interested to see what direction you go with your 223 videos now! Exciting times!

If you want more than 2.260” COAL check out the C-Products 10 round magazine sold at Primary Arms. I load mine out to 2.295” and it feeds reliably

You should do a comparison between your labradar and you're other chronograph.

You ever try the rock river 2 stage varmint trigger? Very nice trigger for 80$. Recently bought a 1007 tactical 2 stage trigger I guess is that’s the brand that’s what’s engraved on it but I’ve seen them advertised as fox trot mike and fm 2 stage triggers. For 66$ it isn’t bad but the 80$ rock river is worth the extra 20$

So did you determine how White Oak times the gas port drilling position, so it does not plunge down through a bbl thread land and raise a burr or sharp corner that rips the jacket off the bullet every time it passes through? Also, can you get these bbls in chrome moly steel, like the original chrome plated military barrels? Chrome moly has better heat transfer coefficient than the stainless steel barrels. I am suspicious of SST barrels that string groups as they heat up, possibly because of assymetric heating. Also, I have read that SST bbls do not respond to cryogenic-treatment.

I could care less if companies *gift* items to KZfaqrs, if the quality holds up, then great! If not, we know you’ll call it what it is. Keep ‘em comin man! Still hoping for a cleaning mat! 🤟

It's not a loophole. It's a private sale.

Awesome vid as always...

Nice upgrade.

18" - Goodbye old friend!

thats a slow moving 69gr load. I use 23.8 8208 with 69gr SMKs in a 20" White Oak 1:7. They run well

Use the purple spring

Thanks for the mark 262 videos save me a lot of time have you ever considered trying to make an inaccurate barrel shoot better by recrowning Blueprinting lapping and so forth In your opinion what makes a barrel inaccurate?

WOW! Can I be your friend, associate, family also! I could sure use an awesome Aero upper WITH a nice Vortex scope! Heck it's even sighted in! lol

I have no idea about gaining or losing velocity with barrel use, but just so we're clear, you are crazy.

🙄 still waiting on that 458 Socom

Can I have the barrel??😁 awwwww.😢just saw the part where you crushed my dreams...lol

Think I’ve heard you reference QL before. I’ve just picked up a copy and think there may be something to the OBT theory. I’m sure the node locations are different between the 18” & 20”. In fact I’m gonna crunch some of your result and see in any of your loads lined up with the 18” vs the 20”

Has anyone tried using bulk Stainless Steel screws and adding some of them in with your pins, have you tried doing your grouping tests using a lead sled so the gun fires from the same spot every time.

It may or may not be for a nephew or niece 😳 yeah long time fan here 😬

I like ar comp with those 75 gr hornadys

Hornadys factory loaded Frontier Match .223 ammo shoots 1 moa so hand loads only good if you can do better.

Curious to see how the new Nosler 77 rdf shoot for you

HELLO ALL!

This is the only video Ive seen with the 20" barrel. Did I miss something?

Your thoughts on suppressed AR's. Please share. Tell us about the suppressors. Thank you.
