Overview
Built for AR-15 setups chambered in 6mm ARC, this 16-inch barrel is suited to hunters and shooters looking to configure a compact rifle with a mid-length gas system and SPR profile. It is machined from hardened 416R stainless steel and finished with QPQ, with a nickel boron coated extended M4 feed ramp extension included in the design. The 1:7 twist rate, .750" gas block journal, and 5/8x24 threaded muzzle provide a clear specification set for compatible builds. At 39.3 oz, it is a substantial barrel option for a purpose-driven rifle setup.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 16-inch barrel, so it offers less compactness than shorter options while still keeping the mid-length gas system.
- The .750" gas block journal means compatibility depends on using a matching gas block size.
- The 1:7" twist rate is fixed, so it is best suited to shooters who want that specific twist rather than a more flexible setup.
- The threaded 5/8x24 muzzle requires compatible muzzle devices or accessories.
