ELD Performance AR-10 24" .308 416R Stainless Bull Barrel with X-Flutes

General Barrel Info: The barrel on an LR-308 operates under a 'gas impingement' system by tapping gas off of the barrel and cycling it back through the gas system to assist the bolt carrier in unlocking and extracting the spent cartridge. LR-308 Barrels come in four different specifications for gas systems, Pistol, Carbine, Mid-Length, and Rifle. LR-308 Barrels vary between profiles Government, Heavy, and Slim. Thanks to the modularity of LR-308, you can choose different calibers starting with the barrel, each with its specific twist rates. Choosing your barrel for your next LR-308 build has never been easier.

About This Barrel: This .308 Bull Barrel is 24-inches long and operates on a rifle gas system. The fluting of this barrel helps to reduce weight, improve heat dispersion, and also improve barrel harmonics. It has a 1:10 twist rate and is made from 416R stainless steel with a black nitride finish to keep it strong and corrosion resistant.

About the Profile: Bull - Bull barrels are typically heavy barrels with minimal to no contour in their shape, allowing for increased rigidity and accuracy by design. Bull barrels typically are not threaded and have a concave muzzle end to funnel gasses directly forward after a projectile has left the barrel.

Barrel Classification: Rifle

Length: This Barrel is designated as a rifle barrel with an overall 24" length.

Caliber: .308 WIN - This barrel is chambered in .308 Winchester otherwise known as 7.62x51 NATO. .308 Win is the standard caliber for LR-308/AR-10 rifles of old & modern battle rifles from the 70s onward. Featuring amazing long-range accuracy and energy delivery, 308 Winchester is the most common hunting and long rifle round in America.

Material: 416R SS - 416R is a hardenable chromium stainless steel particularly suited for use in high-quality precision rifle barrels. This grade has good machinability and, because of closely controlled chemistry and processing techniques, may be machined and lapped to a high finish, which is important for bore accuracy.

Finish: Nitride - Nitriding is a process during manufacturing that diffuses nitrogen into the steel to make a case-hardened surface for improved resistance and strength. A Nitrided barrel typically has a gloss black texture.
