Faxon Firearms Duty Series AR-15 5.56 NATO 14.5" 1:8 SOCOM Barrel - Black Nitride

The Faxon Firearms Duty Series 14.5" SOCOM Profile AR-15 barrel is a precision-machined component built for duty-grade reliability. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, this barrel measures 14.5 inches long and uses a 1:8 twist rate to stabilize a wide range of bullet weights. The Government/SOCOM contour is the same heavy profile trusted on duty carbines and M4-pattern rifles.

The barrel is machined from certified 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel and finished inside and out with a QPQ salt bath nitride (black nitride) coating for corrosion resistance and long service life. It is set up for a mid-length gas system with a .750" gas block journal and threaded 1/2x28 to accept standard 5.56 muzzle devices.

Whether you are assembling a clone-correct carbine, a piston-conversion host, or a general-purpose AR-15 build, this Duty Series SOCOM-profile barrel delivers the strength, accuracy, and consistency expected from a premium American-made component. New from Faxon Firearms, manufactured in the USA.
