Bear Creek Arsenal 5.56 NATO 16 Inch AR-15 Barrel – Parkerized Heavy Profile – Carbine Gas

The Bear Creek Arsenal 5.56 NATO 16 Inch AR-15 Barrel is an excellent choice for those looking for a high-quality barrel for their AR-15. It features a heavy profile and is made from durable materials to ensure longevity and reliability. The carbine gas system also makes it easy to use and maintain, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced shooters.

The barrel material, 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium, is known for its durability and resistance to wear. The parkerized finish adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion and other types of damage. The heavy contour of the barrel provides additional stability and helps to reduce recoil, making it easier to maintain your aim. With a length of 16 inches, this barrel is well-suited for a variety of shooting applications.

The carbine-length gas system is an excellent choice for shooters who want a reliable and consistent gas flow. This system is ideal for use in short-barreled rifles or those with a shorter barrel length but also offers unrivaled reliability on longer barrels. The 1:7 twist rate ensures that your shots are accurate, even at longer distances ideally with heavier bullets.

The Bear Creek Arsenal AR-15 16″ 5.56 heavy barrel is an excellent choice for anyone looking to build or upgrade their AR15 rifle. With superior performance and a lifetime warranty, you can trust this barrel to deliver the results you need.

Bear Creek Barrel

This barrel was filthy, but cleaned up after about 15 passes of a bore brush. Unfortunately, I am having trouble getting 75gr projectile to fit in an OAL that will fit in a magazine. So, I don't know what I am going to feed this 1:7 twist.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Bear Creek Barrel. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the barrel being dirty upon arrival. We're glad to hear that it cleaned up nicely with a bore brush. Regarding the fit of the 75gr projectile, we recommend consulting with a gunsmith or contacting our customer service team for further assistance. We want to make sure you have the best experience possible with our product. Thank you again for your feedback!
