Legacy 5.56 14.7 (16" OAL) Pencil Barrel Assembly

I used this barrel for an early Colt 723 clone build. It’s light, handy, looks great, and as another reviewer noted, the pin & weld job is very low profile. I zeroed at 25 yards and got about 1/2” groups with a couple different kinds of inexpensive 55 grain ammo. Just for fun, I took it out to 100 yards to see what it would do. I expected to get about 2-3” groups. I did not! My first 3 shot group was right at 3/4th of an inch! I’m not an expert shooter, and with a mil-spec trigger and iron sights, I imagine it would be a difficult feat to reproduce. Still, I believe the barrel is mechanically capable of sub 1 MOA accuracy. I ordered my barrel on 24 OCT 2020, and it arrived about a month later on 20 NOV 2020. I would expect similar or longer delays if you are ordering in the 2020-2021 gun buying craze. Truly a Top Notch product and well worth the wait in my opinion.

I bought this with a pinned A2 FH to make an early 723 clone, and I love it. It fit easily, and looks well made. It's one of my favorite rifles now. And it works with a bayonet, for those wondering about the 14.7" barrel.

Great product for any retro build. Nicely pinned and welded A1 flash suppressor.

Bought a couple of these and am very happy with them. The phosphate finish matches my XM Grey retro receivers very nicely. Pin/weld barely noticable. Much easier than buying a barrel and the going through the process to have a muzzle device permanently attached! I now have 3 TNTE barrel assemblies on different retro builds (653, 723, 727) and they’re all fantastic! Thanks!!
