I'm a little skeptical about the above statements about wylde chambers. My experiences with them (5 guns, 7 barrels (4 of which are for games)) have been nothing but positive.
However, I am mildly concerned that so many mfgs intentionally misrepresent their chambers. I appreciate folks like Noveske calling their chamber a "Match Mod0" or something.
This spring I called a mfg that is well respected around here, and asked if I could supply the barrel for them to build their upper around because I wanted a non-standard chamber. I was told that wasn't necessary because their "5.56 NATO" already had the mods I wanted to it.
It really doesn't take a lot of effort to put more info on the barrel that indicates a base chamber with some specific mods to it. e.g. "Ackley Improved" or "Dasher" or "Wylde"
it would even become a selling point... a desirable feature.
sounds like rob_s is working on a new chart
