Frequently Asked Questions

What does 5R rifling do differently than standard rifling? 5R rifling uses lands opposite grooves with reduced sharp angles, which cuts down on jacket deformation, helping velocity consistency and making the bore easier to clean.

Why flute the barrel? Fluting removes material to cut weight without a proportional loss of rigidity, and this H-fluted profile is designed with that balance in mind for AR10-pattern rifles.
