It’s also not always clear why certain profiles or contours are designed the way they are. There are many styles of Barrel contours, or profiles, and a lot of them can appear similar. If you’re building a precision rifle that needs ½ MOA accuracy and will never be subjected to sustained high rates of fire, a stainless steel, unlined barrel may be what you’re looking for.

Those who are looking for a barrel that will perform at a high level across the widest number of applications, a 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium barrel with a chrome or nitrocarburized bore lining will fit the bill. The tradeoff is a lack of protection against corrosion, and shorter barrel life. This lining is becoming more popular, due to its lack of negative effect on accuracy.įor the most supreme accuracy, an unlined stainless-steel barrel will give the best performance. The nitrocarburizing has the outomce of a chemically altered surface inside the bore of the barrel. More recently, proprietary methods of nitrocarburizing the lining of a barrel have been patented, and these forms of barrel linings will use trademarked names like Melonite, Tenifer, Salt Bath Nitride, and others. Many manufacturers have refined their processes and produce barrels that are highly capable with chrome lining. However, over time, chrome lining can reduce accuracy since the coating unevely wears down the length of the bore. The lining provides a protective coating against corrosion and fouling, which increases the life of the barrel. It can be polished for a distinct look, shot peened for a matte, less vibrant appearance, as well as colored with chemical treatments to feature a dark finish.Ĭhrome lining in the bore of a barrel was seen as a huge breakthrough for reliability when it was first introduced. The hardness ratings of each type are the same, and while each alloy does include chrome, it is not a large enough amount eliminate rust forever.Ĥ16R Stainless Steel is also commonly used in AR barrels and it has more chrome, making it more corrosion resistant. Excellent stock has some handling marks.AR barrels are usually made from 4100-grade Chrome Moly steel alloy, most commonly 4140 - which can be cheaper - or 4150 which includes Vanadium in the alloy to increase strength. Includes one Colt 30 round magazine and one Colt 20 round magazine, along with a factory maintenance manual.Ĭondition: Excellent 98% original finish having handling marks and light scuffs. colt sp1, colt 723, xm16e1, colt m4 for sale, colt ar 15 for sale, colt lower, colt le6920 for sale, colt 6720, colt a2 stock M4 carbine for sale | Colt AR15 A2Īdjustable post front sight and windage adjustable M16A1 style rear peep sight, with ribbed circular handguard, checkered pistol grip, and standard stock, with buttplate trapdoor compartment.
