The Proof Research 6mm ARC AR-Style Barrel (Proof Research part no. 130384) is a 20 inch rifle-length barrel built for long-range shooters who demand accuracy without sacrificing durability. Machined from stainless steel, it is engineered with the high tensile strength and toughness needed to handle repeated exposure to extreme chamber pressures, along with excellent resistance to erosion and corrosion. A rifle-length-plus-one gas system and 1:7.5 inch twist rate are matched specifically to the 6mm ARC cartridge for consistent cycling and stabilized bullet flight. Whether building a dedicated precision rig or upgrading an existing AR-platform rifle, this barrel from Proof Research is a serious step up for long-range 6mm ARC shooters.
