Proof Research AR-Style Barrel 16 Midlength 223 Wylde Carbon Fiber 416R Threaded

The Proof Research 100004 AR-Style Barrel delivers high-performance reliability for AR platforms with a 16" midlength profile, crafted in 416R stainless steel and finished in carbon fiber for an unmistakable blend of durability and weight-saving efficiency. This 223 Wylde chambering provides versatile compatibility with both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, while the 1:8 twist optimizes accuracy across a broad range of projectiles. Designed for AR rails and gas systems, the barrel features threading and a .750" gas journal diameter to partner with compatible gas blocks and muzzle devices, enhancing reliability under varied conditions. The carbon fiber finish not only contributes a sleek, low-profile appearance but also helps dissipate heat during extended shooting sessions, supporting consistent performance and quicker cooling.
