Lead & Steel Jag-16-Bbl Match Grade 16"
$103.64
The Lead & Steel Jag-16-Bbl Match Grade 16" barrel is a precision replacement barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO, built for shooters who demand accuracy without compromise. Whether you're upgrading an existing rifle platform or building a custom AR, this match-grade barrel delivers the consistency and shot-to-shot repeatability that separate solid groups from lucky ones. At 16 inches, it strikes a practical balance between velocity and handling, making it equally at home on a range rifle, a duty build, or a hunting carbine where precision matters.
Match-grade barrels are held to tighter tolerances than standard mil-spec offerings. Lead & Steel's attention to bore and chamber consistency means every round you fire has the best chance of following the same path as the last one—the foundation of real accuracy. The 16" length keeps overall rifle length manageable without sacrificing the velocity and ballistic performance that 5.56 NATO was designed to deliver.
This is a no-frills, function-first component for builders and gunsmiths who understand that a quality barrel is the core of any accurate rifle. If you're tired of blaming yourself for groups that should be tighter, a match-grade barrel is the upgrade that actually delivers measurable results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this barrel fit my AR-15?
This is a replacement barrel component. Compatibility depends on your specific upper receiver and platform. Consult your rifle's documentation or a qualified gunsmith if you're unsure whether this barrel will work with your build.
What's the difference between match-grade and standard barrels?
Match-grade barrels are manufactured to tighter tolerances in the bore and chamber, which reduces variation from shot to shot. This consistency translates to tighter groups and more predictable ballistics—exactly what you need for precision shooting or accuracy-demanding applications.
Is 16" long enough for 5.56 NATO?
Yes. The 16" length is a practical compromise that preserves the velocity and ballistic performance of 5.56 NATO while keeping overall rifle length and weight manageable for hunting, duty, and tactical use.
