What makes an air gauged barrel better? Tinking of buying a 20" ss wilson barrel for my ar.

Air gauged means it was just tested using an air gauge. You could have an air gauged barrel thats a piece of junk. You need to know the pass/fail tolerances of the barrel maker.

The wilson is a decent barrel. WOA uses their blanks, and after working their magic, they're great.

ETA: An air gauge is described as "a device used to compare a machined surface to a standard surface by assessing the rate of passage of air between them." This is done with the bore.

I'd get a barrel from White Oak Armament. I'm a bit biased since I use their products, but I think they ship out good finished barrels.
