Product Overview

The Radical Firearms 556 16" Mid 1-7 Twist barrel is a purpose-built upper receiver component for AR-15 builders and shooters who want quality precision without breaking the bank. Whether you're assembling a new rifle from the ground up or upgrading an aging barrel, this mid-length gas system barrel brings durability and reliability to your .556 NATO platform.

Machined from 41V50 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and protected with a Melonite corrosion-resistant finish, this barrel prioritizes longevity over cost-cutting. The Melonite coating hardens the bore to resist wear and fouling — delivering the hardness benefits of chrome-lined barrels without the accuracy compromises that traditional chrome lining introduces. For shooters running high round counts or hunting in wet conditions, that corrosion resistance pays dividends over time.

The 1-7 twist rate stabilizes the full spectrum of .556 loads, from light practice rounds to heavier match and hunting ammunition, making this barrel a flexible choice for the shooter who doesn't want to swap hardware for different ammo weights. At 16 inches, the mid-length design strikes a practical balance: it's short enough for handy carbine work and cramped shooting positions, yet long enough to wring respectable velocity from .556 rounds. This is honest, working-gun hardware — no hype, just proven materials and straightforward machining.
