ELD Performance "Gashkin" AR-15 8" OAL, .45 ACP, 4150 CrMoV, 1-16T, .578x28 Nitride Barrel
General Barrel Info: The barrel on a .45ACP AR-15 barrel operates under 'direct blowback' there is no gas system directly connected to a 9mm AR-15 barrel for the system to cycle. By design .45ACP AR-15 barrels are affordable and come in many sizes, rifle, and pistol. This includes many of the familiar barrel profiles found on standard/common AR-15 platforms. Building an AR-15 chambered in .45ACP is a great choice for training and for your next Pistol Caliber Carbine build.
About This Barrel: The "Gashkin" Barrel is made by ELD Performance it is 8" long, and is machined from 4150 CrMoV, and finished in a Nitride appearance. Chambered for .45ACP, using a Medium profile design, this barrel will be a perfect choice for your next AR-15 PCC.
About the Profile: Medium - Medium Profile barrels are designed to have an even weight distributed from the beginning to the end of the barrel, this results in a rather tubular-looking appearance but with identical rigidity and properties to a government profile barrel.

Length: This Barrel is designated as a Pistol length barrel with an overall length of 8".
Caliber: .45ACP - This barrel is chambered for .45ACP, a low velocity, high mass, hard-hitting pistol cartridge, most popular with 1911, adapted for the AR-15 Platform.
Material: 4150 CrMoV - Chrome-Moly Vanadium, or simply "CMV", is the official mil-spec gun steel developed by Colt Firearms for the military-issued M16 and M4. It contains the same elements as 4150 steel. It also contains Vanadium. Vanadium significantly increases the strength, hardness, and high-temperature stability of the steel.
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.
