Daniel Defense, Barrel, Lightweight (LW) Profile, 556NATO, 16″, 1:7 Twist, Mid Length Gas System, Black Finish

The Daniel Defense 16″ Lightweight Profile, mid-length gas, 1:7 twist, Cold Hammer Forged barrel is ideal for those seeking to reduce weight on their AR-15 build without compromising durability or accuracy. Cold hammer forged for superior strength and longevity, this barrel is crafted from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel. It features a Mil-spec heavy phosphate coating and a chrome-lined bore, with a mid-length gas system for optimal performance. This combination ensures reliability and precision, making it a standout choice for any build.

These chrome-lined barrels boast a forged chamber and premium exterior coating, with the cold hammer forging process delivering unmatched durability and precision. This technique ensures greater accuracy and longevity compared to barrels made with cut or button rifling. During forging, carbide steel hammers apply intense hydraulic pressure from opposing angles, shaping the barrel around a mandrel to form the chamber, lands, and grooves. The result is a flawless bore and the most consistent chamber possible. Please note that the gas block and front sight block are not included.
