Ok...looking at a new barrel for my next build.
What is the SPCII that is in this ad...and is the only difference being one is threaded for flash hiders etc...?

These are the two in question.Both are YHM barrels.


16" Chrome Lined Barrel,Fluted
Chambered in 5.56 mm SPC II, with a 1:9" twist.  These barrels feature M4 style feed ramps for reliable function.  4140 steel, heat trated to RC 25-32.

16" Threaded Chrome Lined Barrel
These barrels are chambered in 5.56 N.A.T.O., made from 4140 steel , heat treated to RC 25-32, and chrome lined. These barrels feature M4 style feed ramps for reliable function. Threaded models feature 1/2"-28 threads for YHM muzzle brakes, flash hiders, and suppressors.

The top one is not threaded and I don't necessarily need a flash hider.
Just wondering about the SPCII...is it the same as regular 5.56?
Same ammo?
Thanx

I would call and ask.  I'm almost positive that SPCII refers to a 6.8mm chamber variant.

Someone screwed up their ad. SPCII is a chamber specification that only applies to the 6.8mm, not 5.56. I also would highly doubt anyone would offer a twist of 1/9 for a 6.8 barrel

Probably a typo.

The SPCII designation is for 6.8.

6.8 SPC being the original and 6.8 SPCII being the current chamber.

Thanks to all that responded..I thought the same thing as you guys...just wanted to be sure....the only difference I saw was the threaded vs non threaded.
The barrel is in the 5.56 area on the site...YHM.
Thanx again.
