Timber Creek Outdoors SOCOM 6.5 Grendel 18" 1:8 Black Nitride AR-15 Barrel

The Timber Creek Outdoors SOCOM 6.5 Grendel barrel is a precision-machined replacement barrel designed for AR-15 platform rifles chambered in the hard-hitting 6.5 Grendel cartridge. Cut to 18 inches in the heavy-contour SOCOM profile, this barrel delivers the rigidity needed for sustained fire while keeping overall weight manageable for a versatile rifle build.

A 1:8 inch rifling twist rate stabilizes a broad range of 6.5 Grendel bullet weights, from lighter varmint projectiles through heavy match and hunting loads. The bore and exterior carry a durable Black Nitride finish that hardens the surface, improves corrosion resistance, and shortens cleaning time between range sessions. M4 feed ramps are machined into the barrel extension for reliable feeding from the magazine.

The barrel is set up for a rifle-length gas system, uses a .750 inch diameter gas block journal, and is threaded 5/8x24 at the muzzle for compatibility with a wide range of muzzle devices and suppressors. Timber Creek rates this barrel at 1 MOA, making it a strong foundation for a precision-oriented 6.5 Grendel AR-15 upper.
