Brownells Own AR-15 Barrel Now Available
There’s a bit of relief for the shortage of AR-15 barrels, at least at Brownells. The Iowa-based supplier of gunsmithing tools and firearm accessories has just released their own, 16” M-4-style barrel for the popular rifle.
The AR-15/M16/M4 Carbine Barrel (#080-000-681) is made of 4140 chrome moly steel, hardened to Rc 26-33 and stress relieved. It’s 16” long with a 1 in 7 twist and ½”-28 threads for a flash hider. M4 feed ramps provide reliable feeding into the 5.56 NATO chamber. A dark gray, Parkerized finish helps prevent rust.
“Brownells is committed to stocking the parts our customers need. When we see people having trouble getting a certain product, we work with our existing suppliers, or find new sources, to make those parts available,” said company President Pete Brownell.
No front sight housing/gas block or flash hider/muzzle brake is supplied. That lets the user select the exact components they want without paying for parts that will only end up in a drawer full of other unused pieces.

Stocking more than 30,000 items, the company supplies armorers, gunsmiths, and shooters worldwide. All of their products are backed by a 100% satisfaction, unconditional, lifetime guarantee.
