Description
FN America 10.5" Button Broached Barrel - 5.56mm NATO - Carbine-Length Gas - 1:7
Purpose-built for elite close-quarters maneuverability and relentless reliability, the FN America 10.5" AR-15/M16 Barrel delivers true combat-grade performance in a compact footprint. Precision-crafted from premium, U.S.-sourced Chrome Moly Vanadium (CMV) steel in strict accordance with Mil-B-11595E specifications, this barrel is engineered to withstand the punishing heat and pressure curves of hard-use short-barreled rifle (SBR) and AR pistol platforms. Whether you are assembling an agile duty carbine or a dedicated home-defense setup, FN’s legendary manufacturing heritage ensures dependable operation when stakes are highest.
Every barrel features precision button broached rifling with a versatile 1:7 twist rate, stabilizing a wide spectrum of duty-grade projectiles from 55-grain tactical loads to heavy 77-grain defensive rounds. To maximize duty lifecycle and maintain flawless cycling, the bore and chamber are lined with durable industrial hard chrome to resist aggressive heat erosion and corrosive fouling. Individually subjected to rigorous proof firing and non-destructive testing, this 10.5-inch carbine-gas barrel sets the benchmark for compact AR-15 reliability.
