Description
This SOCOM Contour AR-15 Barrel is fully chambered and ready for installation onto a host upper receiver. The barrel features a 5.56x45mm NATO Chamber, while the 1 in 7″ Twist Rifling is capable of stabilizing virtually any 5.56 bullet. The barrel’s SOCOM Contour is similar to the standard M4 Contour, but eliminates the M203 cut, giving it a more streamlined appearance. This barrel is an excellent choice for any low budget AR project.
Chambered in 5.56 NATO for full compatibility with surplus MIL-SPEC ammunition or commercial .223 Remington. Constructed of 4140 chrome moly steel and finished in nitride for excellent surface protection. The 1:8 twist rate is great for stabilizing most bullet weights and the mid-length gas system is optimal for reliability and reduced recoil.

David Watt –
I decided to build an AR-15 rifle. I built a quality lower, used very nice parts. I scrambled around gathering parts, not really sure how I was going to finish my project. A friend at work told me about CBC. I walked in needing everything from the barrel nut to the muzzle, walked out with all the parts I needed. I hurried home to my shop… Finished my project… After work today, I went to the range with 60 rounds and 2 used paper plates, from the barbecue from the night before, for targets…. I put all 60 rounds in the pork and beans at 80 yards…… Great Barrel, great prices, great people…. pretty good barbecue….

CBC industries is my new go-to website for hard to find parts & accessories. Quick shipping despite current events.
The barrel pictured above is similar to what I ordered but is not what ordered. The one I ordered is exact in every way except for the barrel extension. Fit snug in upper. Finish is smooth. Headspace was good to go. I am very pleased with this barrel.
