Barrel Specifications and Construction

The 16-inch barrel is constructed from 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel in a medium profile with a nitride finish. The barrel extension carries the same nitride finish as the barrel body. The carbine-length gas system pairs with a 0.750 gas block shelf, and the 1-in-2x28 thread pitch supports standard AR-15 muzzle devices. The medium profile provides a balance of weight and rigidity suited to the AR-15 platform.
