If it's Shilen, it will likely say that it's Shilen in the literature................if it doesn't, it's likely Wilson. Can't remember for sure, but I think all WOA's Shilen barrels are 5R.

You can always call WOA & ask; they are very user friendly.

I have one, an 18" SPR, and it's a good shooter! Loves 69 grain SMKs. I haven't gotten around to the 77s, yet.

Rifle or mid gas? Rifle gas is on sale for $239

I prefer rifle gas on an 18" barrel. Runs smooth and no need for an adjustable gas block with a suppressor.

Sorry bout that, mine's a mid-length.

War Eagle has an excellent point with his post.

I agree with this and add that I did quite a bit of chronographing last summer with several different 18" barrels. You gain 100fps+ with rifle gas over mid length
