16 Inch Government 5.56 NATO Barrel by AT3 Tactical

With a sturdy profile and proven construction, this 16 inch 5.56 NATO barrel features a midlength gas system for smoother recoil. This Government profile barrel uses 4150 CMV steel per Mil-B-11595E, with a corrosion-resistant black nitride finish for enhanced longevity. If you’re looking to upgrade from an M4 style, carbine length system, or building from scratch, this barrel will perform for you.

This barrel uses a .750″ diameter gas block, plus a Midlength length gas tube, both of which you can snag here at a lower, bundled cost. If you’re looking to start fresh with a complete upper assembly, check out our selection of upper and handguard combos! For this barrel, we’d recommend a handguard 12 to 15 inches long to ensure shooter comfort, plus room for accessories.
