The Anderson Manufacturing 24" AR-15 barrel in 5.56 NATO is built for shooters who want precision and durability in a rifle-length setup. This stainless steel heavy contour barrel delivers the weight and rigidity you need for tight groups at distance, whether you're dialing in at the range or building a match-grade rifle. The 416R stainless construction resists corrosion and handles sustained fire without losing point of impact—a solid choice for long-range hunters and competition shooters who demand consistency.
The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes a wide range of 5.56 loads, from lighter varmint rounds to heavier match ammunition. Straight fluting reduces weight slightly while maintaining the structural integrity of that heavy profile, and the 11" target crown protects the muzzle and supports clean, repeatable accuracy. Note that this barrel ships unthreaded, so you'll have the freedom to crown and thread it to your exact specifications—or run it as-is if your build calls for a pinned-and-welded solution.
Built on rifle-length gas system specs (0.936" gas block diameter, 0.093" gas hole), this barrel integrates seamlessly into standard AR-15 rifle-system builds. Anderson Manufacturing's reputation for no-nonsense, shooter-focused components makes this barrel a practical foundation for precision builds without inflated pricing.
