Of the three (that I'm aware of) US barrel shroud, Green Mtn, or BWE, is there a "Best" choice here? I see on the GM site that it states that "WWB MAY not function in their barrel?" I like the idea that the GM barrel is chrome lined. The US barrel Shroud barrel has a lot of great reviews on their site. Original IMI barrels are way expensive. Don't know anything about the BWE barrel?

I have a BWE 3 lug SMG barrel, no issues whatsoever. Fit and finish is top notch.

Many people have had issues with the latest batch of WWB including BWE and myself. That’s no fault of the BWE barrels or anyone else’s for that matter, just a result of crappy WWB ammo. Over that last two decades, I’ve shot literally tens of thousands of rounds of Winchester 9mm ammo, but their latest offerings? Nope, not anymore. Just saying...

Have a BWE barrel on my full auto IMI Uzi, no problems firing various brands of factory ammunition and reloads with it. Works as well as the original barrel that came with the gun.

As Vegas SMG said, the latest batch of WWB is garbage. They taper crimped the cases way too much and the mouth of the case is way under SAAMI specs on about 1/3 to 1/2 the rounds. I have stopped recommending it or using it.

We are the only barrel producer who makes their barrels from an IMI blueprint.
