DoubleStar uses high quality American made parts to ensure performance in your AR15.

I would buy again IF I wanted a heavier Dissipator barrel.
Not a true lightweight barrel. Is NOT a .625 pencil barrel profile but is a heavier .750 diameter barrel Like a cut-down A2 profile but won't heat faster like a true pencil barrel. Accuracy is very good and is a good choice over a true lighter, pencil barrel for an echo or binary type trigger, burst, or full auto especially if hunting hogs. If working a fixed post requiring the weapon to be shouldered the duration of the shift it will be heavier than say a Colt 605 or other model. Gave it three (3) stars only due to the intentional misrepresentation and false classification as a lightweight barrel. Pros: Accuracy is good and doesn't heat up too fast. Cons: NOT a true lightweight @ .750 diameter.
