Description: Bushmaster AR-15 16" Dissipator Heavy Barrel Assembly, 5.56mm / .223 Rem. Bushmaster parts and accessories are proven with years of real world use in some of the hardest conditions. Feel confident in knowing that are getting Bushmaster factory parts and accessories. Bushmaster Barrels are the finest AR15-Type/M16 - Type barrels made machined from 4150 chromemoly - vanadium steel or stainless steel. Most Bushmaster barrels are hard chrome-lined to offer corrosion resistance in the bore and chamber. The chrome lining is much harder than barrel steel and effectively doubles barrel life with proper care (exactly why the military specifies the process). Chrome's lubricity (i.e., "slipperiness") reduces friction, increases velocity, aids in chambering and extraction, and speeds barrel cleaning. Bushmaster barrels are manganese phosphate finished (except the stainless) to guard against exterior rust or corrosion and to provide a similar matte black, non-reflective finish found on quality military-type arms.

• Bushmaster standard front sights are machined from steel forgings to offer superior tensile strength. We do not use castings, which may crack or break if you accidentally drop your rifle.
