Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes the mid-length gas system better?The mid-length system provides a more gradual pressure curve than carbine-length setups, resulting in softer recoil, less bolt carrier stress, and improved reliability for 16-inch barrels.
• Is this barrel compatible with standard AR-15 platforms?Yes, it’s designed for AR-15 lowers and uppers, with standard threading and dimensions for seamless integration into most mil-spec builds.
• How does hammer forging benefit performance?Hammer forging compresses the steel at a molecular level, creating a denser, more uniform barrel that withstands higher pressures and maintains accuracy longer than button-rifled alternatives.
