The Colt LE6933 Replacement Barrel Assembly 11.5In is a factory OEM barrel solution for AR-15 owners and builders looking to restore or upgrade their rifle with genuine Colt components. Whether your current barrel has logged years of rounds downrange or you're assembling a new build and want the proven profile of Colt's iconic LE6933 platform, this 11.5-inch barrel assembly delivers the reliability and fit that AR shooters depend on. Colt now offers these barrels as complete assemblies, stripping the guesswork out of sourcing matched components for your carbine.
This barrel assembly is chambered in 5.56 NATO and built with a 1:7-inch twist rate, making it responsive across a wide range of bullet weights—from lightweight varmint rounds to heavier tactical loads. The six-groove rifling is paired with M4-style feed ramps for reliable feeding and a chrome-lined bore that resists corrosion and extends barrel life through high round counts. The carbine-length gas system tuning ensures consistent cycling whether you're running suppressed, unsuppressed, or with various uppers and handguard configurations. The muzzle is threaded 1/2"-28 TPI, standard for modern AR accessories and suppressors.
As an assembly, this barrel comes complete with the barrel nut, front-sight tower, post, and sling swivel already fitted—no secondary fitting or headspacing concerns. It's the fastest path to a working upper receiver if you're replacing a worn or damaged barrel or finishing a build with minimal hassle.
