The LBE AR 5.56 NATO 1/7 Twist 16.25" Black barrel is a professional-grade upper receiver component designed for operators, precision shooters, and rifle builders who demand reliability in various environments. This cold hammer forged barrel serves as a foundation for performance whether you're building a duty rifle, competition platform, or tactical upgrade.
At 16.25 inches, it balances velocity with maneuverability, a length favored across law enforcement carbine configurations and modern patrol rifles. LBE Unlimited barrels are manufactured using cold hammer forging techniques that align grain structure for strength and longevity, then finished with melonite treatment for corrosion resistance. The 1/7 twist rate is the military standard for the 5.56 NATO cartridge, providing stability across a range of ammunition loads.
Law enforcement armorer teams and tactical rifle builders will find this barrel compatible with standard AR-15 upper receivers chambered in 5.56 NATO. Installation requires proper headspacing verification and adherence to torque specifications typical of professional gunsmithing work. This ensures optimal performance and reliability in the field.
