30 years ago, I used several in my Howdah series. Didn't have any complaints as a hunting bbl. Would probably not use in a LR precision rifle.

I have a CMMG upper, another built with a White Oak barrel, one DSA upper coming, and a Double Star barrel here as well. Looking to pick up an M4 style barrel, not upper.

I know nothing about AR-15s, but have used a couple of Shaw barrels on bolt action rifles. I am currently building an 03 Sporter with a Shaw barrel on it.

I think they are good barrels and at least as good, if not better than barrels that come from factories on rifles. I would not hesitate to use one on an AR-15 is I wanted an AR-15 barrel, which I don't.

Like Lee, a Shaw barrel would not be my choice if I wanted the smallest possible groups. Going to have to pay lots more for a barrel like that. But for sporting rifles, they will do just fine.

.......scooped it up!
