Proof Research AR-15 Barrel 223 Wylde 14.5" Mid-Length 1:8 Stainless Steel

Proof Research Barrel Features The Proof Research Barrel is chambered in .223 Wylde a chamber cut that lets the rifle shoot both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition while keeping the tighter accuracy potential of a match chamber. Its 1:8 twist rate stabilizes a broad range of bullet weights giving builders flexibility whether they run lighter varmint loads or heavier match bullets. The midlength gas system is matched to the 14.5 inch barrel length a combination chosen to keep the action running smoothly and reliably across a wide range of ammunition. A .750 inch diameter at the gas block keeps the barrel compatible with the vast majority of common AR-15 handguards and gas blocks on the market. Finished in stainless steel the barrel resists corrosion and is easy to maintain compared to a chrome lined counterpart while still delivering the accuracy precision shooters expect from Proof Research. The 5/8x24 thread pattern at the muzzle accepts standard AR-15 pattern muzzle devices brakes and suppressor mounts without an adapter. At 1.90 pounds the barrel keeps the front end of a build relatively light for a steel barrel of this length. For builders assembling a precision .223 Wylde AR-15 upper the Proof Research Barrel is available for sale at ARMSAGORA.
