Premium barrel configuration for hard use with classic hard chrome bore and chamber.
The Brownells Premium Lightweight Carbine Barrels come in a variety of popular lengths, ready to suit any new carbine build. Ballistic Advantage is manufacturing these to Brownell’s specifications and quality standards, ensuring you get the best barrel possible. Barrel exteriors are coated with the standard phosphate finish, which provides an excellent matte finish, and retains oil extremely well. The most important aspect of the barrel, the bore and chamber, are hard chromed, to prevent corrosion, ease cleaning and prevent long term wear. The button rifled barrels, profiled from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel, feature a 223 Wylde chamber, that allows them to accommodate 223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition equally well. The 1-8 twist will handle commonly available Full Metal Jacket 55gr loads, all the way up to heavier, premium 77gr bullets. All of these Lightweight Barrels have a .625 gas block journal to correspond with the overall slim profile, preventing your Carbine from becoming front heavy. ½-28 muzzle threads accept common muzzle devices and the M4 feedramps at the opposite end interface perfectly with M4 feedramps in your upper receiver.
Have confidence in the Brownells Lightweight Carbine Barrels, backed by our original purchaser lifetime guarantee!
