The VKTR Hammer Forged Direct Impingement Barrels are available in three different lengths to allow for specific user configurations: 16.0”, 13.7”, and 10.5”. VKTR utilizes a 1:7 (1 turn every 7 inches) twist rate on our 5.56 NATO barrels. It will stabilize any of the lighter weight 5.56 projectiles, as well as newer heavier bullet profiles, permitting the greatest possible performance with both. Features a true 5.56 NATO chamber for optimal reliability with higher-pressure ammunition, and is equipped with M4 style feed ramps. Requires no break-in period.
