Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 1:5 twist rate suitable for 300 Blackout ammunition?
Yes, the 1:5 twist is specifically optimized for 300 Blackout, providing excellent stabilization for heavier subsonic bullets (e.g., 200-220 grain) commonly used in suppressed applications, while still handling supersonic loads effectively.
What gas system does this barrel use, and is it suppressor-ready?
This barrel features a micro gas system, designed for ultra-short barrels. It’s highly compatible with suppressors, but tuning the gas block may be necessary to optimize cycling and reduce gas to the face.
Will this barrel fit my standard AR-15 upper receiver?
Absolutely, it includes an M4 barrel extension for direct compatibility with AR-15 uppers, bolts, and carriers. Ensure your gas tube and block match the 0.750″ journal diameter.
