PROOF Research PR15 .223 Wylde 16" Carbon Fiber AR-15 Barrel, Mid-Length, 1:8 Twist

Description: PROOF Research PR15 .223 Wylde 16" Carbon Fiber AR-15 Barrel, Mid-Length, 1:8 Twist. This premium Proof Research barrel is the perfect custom upgrade to your AR-15 platform chambered in .223 Rem / 5.56x45mm. This 16" barrel is wrapped in high quality aerospace-grade carbon fiber with a proprietary matrix resin and showcases unprecedented durability with extreme temperature resistance and lightweight design. This barrel has a 1/2" x 28 TPI, .750 gas journal diameter, mid-length gas system, 1:8 twist rate and is perfect for building a high performance custom rifle.

Designed for the Enthusiast:

Carbon fiber has long been hailed across many industries - aerospace, cycling, alternative energy - as a wonder material making everything lighter and stronger. When employed in a rifle barrel the benefits extend beyond reducing weight and increasing strength. PROOF Research's patented manufacturing process begins with full-profile, match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel blanks made in-house. These blanks are then turned down to a significantly reduced profile greatly reducing weight. This reduced contour barrel is then wrapped with high-strength, aerospace-grade carbon fiber impregnated with a proprietary matrix resin. The carbon fibers used have a unique ability to diffuse heat along the length of the barrel (much like fiber optics transmit light). Carbon fiber also moves heat very effectively through the wall (thickness) of the barrel greatly increasing heat transport resulting in barrels that cool faster, maintain accuracy over longer sessions of fire, and live longer. The end result is an aerospace-grade, high-fiber content composite barrel that is stronger, lighter, as accurate as the finest precision steel barrel, and durable to perform in the most demanding environments. They're not just lighter - they're better.
