.308 AR10 Barrel - 12.5" - 5/8x24 - 1:10 Twist - Heavy - Pistol Length
Purpose: The barrel is one of the most critical components of a rifle. Its primary purpose is to contain the high-pressure gases produced when the cartridge is fired and direct that energy to propel the bullet forward at high velocity. Inside the barrel, the rifling (spiral grooves) spins the bullet, stabilizing it in flight for improved accuracy and range. The barrel’s length, material, twist rate, and profile also significantly influence the rifle’s overall performance, recoil, maneuverability, and effective velocity.
Features: This is a compact 12.5-inch .308/AR-10 SOCOM-profile barrel designed for pistol or short-barreled rifle builds. It features 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel with a Parkerized finish for reliable corrosion resistance and a non-reflective matte look. Key specs include a 1:10 twist rate (well-suited for stabilizing common .308 bullet weights), pistol-length gas system, .875 Gas Block System and the thicker SOCOM contour for enhanced stiffness, durability, and heat dissipation in a short package.
