Looking for user feedback of White oak armament barrels. I'm looking at using either their SDM 20" barrel or their 18" barrel in my long range ar build. Those of you who have them, would you recomment them to someone else? I am also looking at compass lake engineering if reviews of the WOA come back negative. Depending on which barrel I decided to use, will dictate whether I go with an SPR type rifle or a SAM-R rifle. Any feedback is appreciated on either of those rifle types for shooting out to 600 yards.

Thanks
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I have the WOA upper on my AR Service Rifle. Its excellent. Others I have talked to who use White Oak have the same opinion.

I dont think you would go wrong with the White Oak.
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

Just got a 24" 1:11 Krieger White Oak from DS9. Hopefully I'll be getting it broke in this weekend........if the #%$%$ snow melts so I can at least getg ON the range. I'll give a report.


I built the rifle off a CMMG DPMS styke lower, DPMS A3 upper, DPMS Free float tube, RR NM trigger. 10X Super Sniper.

I OD green Gun Coated the barrel looks great. Pics to follow
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I've got a couple and they are solid shooters. No worries with them.
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like going with the WOA barrel is no problem. Now I just have to decide which type rifle to go with.
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

Have a couple WOA barrels, one in 6 RAT and the other is .223/5.56. Both shoot great, excellent workmanship, good value. I'll keep using them!
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I've got an 18" SPR barrel from them. I love it.
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I just got an 18" SPR but haven't been able to shoot it yet
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I got 2 WOA uppers. I always heard they are the best. I also have 2 Armilite NM that shoot great. Hope the WOA was worth the wait. It took about 23 weeks to get mine.
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I have a Compass Lake upper for high power with a Krieger barrel I love it. I recommend a Krieger barrel. Both White Oak and Compass Lake offer a Krieger. Fulton Armory states they feel Krieger are the best. If you can get one in the contour you want that’s what I would get.
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I only have 1 WOA barrel, which I got second hand, but it is amazingly accurate.

It is a 16" stainless, and it may be my most accurate AR.
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I have one of their uppers and it shoots extremely well. I just assembled an upper with one of their 18" SPR barrels.

Won't go wrong either way.
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

White oak is the way to go, I have 4 AR uppers from white oak and they all shoot exceptional. They also have great customer service.

+1 on that. My 6.8 WOA 1:11 RHT SS barrel is very accurate and cleans up really nice...I purchased the optional head-spaced bolt...
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I am going to get the optional headspaced bolt as well for the added insurance. Right now I am leaning toward an SDM build, so I am also going to get the correct set screw sight base from WOA.

How sturdy is a front site base attached by four set screws when compared to one attached by taper pins?
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

Just wondering if any one knows if a 6/3 marked carry handle off a colt 6920 will be okay to use on a 20" rifle? Will the elevation clicks still be accurate?
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I have owned five WOA barrels 18" 1/7 SPR and 20" all in 223 wylde,Had one in 6.8SPC WOA 18" mid gas systeme all barrels where SUB MOA more in the .5 range .

Shot 3.4" at 565 yards a few weeks ago,Dam thing out shot my bolt gun that day .

 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I have a 16" mid gas. and it shoots moa with a 1.5-5 leupold on top and nosler 77gr with AA 2460. I will use another on my next build.
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I finally got to shoot my mk12 mod 0 clone today and I'm impressed with the White Oak barrel.

Thats some good shooting. Im glad to know the WOA barrels are good to go.
 
Re: White oak armament barrels

I just bought my first WOA barrel for my .223 about 6months ago and it shoots incredible for an AR.
18"- 1:7 twist and it loves 69gr. and 77gr. SMK's.

The only problem tho, when I got it the Stag Arms BBl Ext. wasnt completly tight on it but besides that it is the most accurate AR barrel I have ever shot.

Will buy another for sure.
