F1 Firearms Threaded 223 Wylde Dimple Fluted Rifle Barrel – 16in – Black Nitride
About this product
A rifle barrel directs the bullet and helps determine its velocity and accuracy. This 16-inch rifle barrel features a 223 Wylde chamber, allowing it to safely chamber and fire both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition. Its 1:8 twist rate is designed to stabilize bullets with weights ranging from 55 to 77 grains. The barrel is constructed from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel, a material commonly used for rifle barrels due to its balance of hardness and toughness. It has a black nitride finish, which provides a durable surface treatment. The manufacturing process involves CNC machining, which helps ensure consistent dimensions and tolerances. M4 feed ramps are integrated into the barrel extension to aid in reliable cartridge feeding from the magazine into the chamber.

Fit and compatibility
This rifle barrel is designed for the AR-15 platform. The muzzle is threaded 1/2x28, which is a common thread pitch for muzzle devices compatible with AR-15 barrels. The dimple fluting is a design feature intended to reduce the barrel's overall weight while aiming to maintain its structural integrity. Firearms and serialized receivers ship to an FFL dealer.
