I can't seem to find much for reviews on the Maple Ridge Armory 18.6" barrels in.223 wylde. Can anyone offer there personal experience after some trigger time using these barrels?
 
I have one waiting to be installed in my rifle. I just have to get my buddy to drop it off at my place (we ordered two and shipped to his place).
As soon as I get it I'll do a range report.

Sorry it doesn't help you right now but I hope to have it within a week or two.

All the specs point towards it being a good shooter and there was a thread not too long ago where a couple guys had positive reports.

I ended up going with a Faxon 20" heavy fluted. Nice barrel, was hoping to get one under 2lbs but this one is super close.
 
I have a black mid length .223 on my SLR which I am very satisfied with.

I have one mounted on my SLR, it's accurate. All MRA barrels are made by IBI out of chilliwack BC, the only thing MRA does to them is add fluting and a black finish if you don't want the SS finish.

I put about 1500 rounds through mine, it's very consistent even with multiple shots fired in succession. I also have the MRA 15" M-lok hand guard and brake on mine and I love the look. I just bought the same hand guard/brake set up along with a MRA 18.6" .223 wylde pencil barrel in black to go with my MS build because I like the looks and quality so much.
 
If MRA does the muzzle threads i wouldn’t trust it, maybe ask for them to install brake in advance.
My MRA brake nearly killed my 19’’ IBI muzzle threads, barely salvageable before having to re-cut barrel.
I am 100% sure the brake was the culprit, and have had someone PM me having same exact conclusion/problem.
 
Have a 308 barrel to install... Hope it's decent. Pencil barrel for a bullet hose but still want it to be good. Is their finish work that bad?

Actually this is incorrect. MRA does everything. Glad its shooting well for you!

I bought a Odin works barrel, and the chamber looks terrible. I borascoped the chamber and barrel and it looks like they reamed the chamber dry. There is a lot of machine marks. Looking for back up barrel if it doesn’t shoot.

I have a International Barrel 19" black Friday special with a Maple ridge 3 port brake and it threads buttery smooth
