MIL-Spec CrMOV, Chrome lined, Lightweight, Carbine Gas Barrel
Midlength, .750 Gas Journal w/alignment notch for use with our TABBED gas blocks (non-tabbed gas blocks will still work.)
In-house pinned gas block is a
tabbed,"ultra low profile", pin-only, gas block with no need for set
screws, and has no threaded holes for them. We now use a heavy duty,
double coiled spring pin which can be driven in/out in either direction,
instead of the old taper pin.
Chrome lined chamber and bore
The hard chrome used to coat the
chamber and bore are harder than the barrel steel itself. This aids in
longevity and also reduces fouling and corrosion often seen in austere
field conditions. Chrome also aids in chambering, extraction, and
overall reliability of the weapon. Thus, giving the operator a more
reliable weapon with less maintenance. We have our chrome lining applied
to twice the thickness of standard small arms barrels.
Twist rate
We use a 1/7 (1 turn in 7 inches)
twist rate in all our barrels. This is the best overall twist rate for
this weapons system. The 1/7 twist will stabilize any of the light
weight 5.56 bullets as well as any other twist. This twist will also
stabilize the newer heavier bullets that are being used allowing the
operator to get the best performance out of this weapon system.
Chamber
We use a true 5.56 chamber in our
barrels allowing the operator the ability to use the higher pressure
military ammunition on the market and helping to enhance reliability.
Feed ramps
Our barrels are supplied with extended M4 style feed ramps to enhance overall feeding and weapons reliability.
Finish
The barrel finish we use is a
manganese phosphate finish (Mil-Spec A-A-59267). This finish allows for
better absorption of oils to help prevent corrosion. These barrels are
all finished prior to any gas blocks being mounted to ensure the entire
surface is covered to maximum protection even under the gas block.
