Proof Research PR15 Barrel – 6mm ARC, 20 inch

The Proof Research PR15 barrel (brand part no. 152263) is chambered in 6mm ARC with a 20-inch length and a 1:7.5 twist rate, built around Proof Research’s signature carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless steel construction. Wrapping a stainless steel liner in carbon fiber cuts real weight off the front of the rifle compared to an equivalent steel barrel of the same length, without giving up the accuracy a stainless liner delivers. The 1:7.5 twist is matched to stabilize the heavier-for-caliber bullets 6mm ARC shooters typically run at longer range. It’s built for the PR15 (AR-15 pattern) platform, giving precision-minded 6mm ARC shooters a lighter-weight barrel option for a build that still needs to be carried, not just shot from a bench.
