Frequently Asked Questions
Is this barrel compatible with my AR-15 lower?
This barrel is designed for AR-15 blowback uppers chambered in 9mm. It pairs well with standard AR-15 lowers using pistol-caliber conversion kits, but ensure your upper is configured for straight blowback operation.
What muzzle devices can I use with the 1/2×28 threads?
The standard 1/2×28 threading supports most 9mm suppressors, muzzle brakes, and flash hiders. It’s versatile for suppressed builds, reducing noise and recoil effectively.
Why is the 1:10 twist rate ideal for 9mm?
The 1:10 twist provides optimal rifling for common 9mm bullet weights, ensuring proper stabilization for improved accuracy without over-spinning lighter projectiles.
