Starter Kit: ELD Performance "Kukri" AR-15 9mm 6", 1-10T Nitride Barrel + Guntec AR-15 1/2x28 Micro Slip Over Barrel Muzzle Brake

General Barrel Info: The barrel on a 9mm 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 9mm 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 9mm is a great choice for training, or for your next Pistol Caliber Carbine build.

About This Barrel: The Barrel is made by ELD Performance it is 6" long, and is machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium and finished in a Nitride appearance. Chambered for 9mm Luger, 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.

Barrel Classification: Pistol

Length: This Barrel is designated as a Pistol length barrel with an overall length of 6".

Caliber: 9mm - This barrel is chambered in 9mm, perfect for light recoiling pistol caliber carbines or rifles. 9mm is the most popular pistol cartridge in North America.

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 have a gloss black texture.

Thread Pitch: 1/2x28 - This threading is commonly found on barrels chambered in 5.56, .223, and .224. This will allow the installation of most muzzle devices such as flash hiders, blast cans, and compensators threaded to 1/2x28 threads.

There are three main types of muzzle devices for your weapon: flash suppressors/flash hiders, muzzle brakes, and compensators. AR-15's are getting more popular every day partially due to their low recoil and muzzle rise. With a good muzzle brake recoil can be reduced even more and with a good compensator, muzzle rise significantly drops, almost vanishing. While muzzle flash cannot be completely eliminated, it can be significantly reduced with a quality flash hider. These muzzle devices are becoming increasingly more popular due to how easy they are to put on (5-10 minutes), their incredible efficiency, and because they make a good looking gun.

About This Muzzle Device: The Guntec AR-15 Micro Slip Over Barrel Shroud With Multi Port Muzzle Brake is a new, innovative micro design. Guntec USA has put in a lot of research into aluminum alloys to make this muzzle device incredibly durable while also keeping it lightweight. Users get the two-in-one experience with this device because it functions as a barrel shroud as well as a muzzle compensator.

Threading: 1/2x28 is a common thread type for muzzle devices made for .22 caliber projectiles, commonly found on AR-15 barrels chambered in .223 Wylde, 5.56 NATO, and including .224 Valkyrie.

Finish: Anodized Type 3 Hardcoat - This coating is exceptionally hard and durable, its qualities which allow it to resist damage due to corrosion and abrasion. Its greater material hardness and thicker oxide layers make it well-suited for applications that require excellent engineering characteristics. These qualities make it a very efficient coating for several different parts of your weapon as seen in military use.

Ports: This Muzzle Device has 46 ports to compensate for the felt recoil and reduce muzzle climb by pushing the barrel back down, making the shooting experience feel flat without jumping off target.
