Dd Bbl Assy 5.56 1-7 Chf 14.5" Gov M

The Daniel Defense 5.56 Barrel Assembly 1-7 14.5" Government profile with Cold Hammer Forge is a precision rifle barrel designed for military and law enforcement operators who demand accuracy and reliability in short-to-mid-range carbine applications. This complete barrel assembly represents decades of proven cold hammer forging technology, delivering the performance characteristics required in tactical and precision rifle builds where barrel longevity and shot-group consistency are non-negotiable.

Cold hammer forging applies intense hydraulic pressure via carbide steel hammers at opposing angles, compressing the steel at the molecular level to eliminate voids and inconsistencies that can degrade accuracy and barrel life. The 1-7 twist rate stabilizes projectiles from 55-grain to 77-grain 5.56 NATO rounds, making it versatile across training, duty, and specialized ammunition types. The government profile (0.750" at the gas port) accepts standard tactical accessories and is compatible with most AR-platform handguards.

This barrel assembly is ideal for law enforcement carbines, military combat rifles, and precision-focused shooters building or upgrading 5.56 NATO AR-15 platforms. The 14.5" length provides intermediate-range capability with reduced muzzle signature compared to longer barrels, making it suitable for various operational contexts. The 1.69 lb weight supports smooth handling and reduces operator fatigue during extended operations.
