The Noveske Afghan Barrel (brand part no. 07000054) is a 14.5-inch AR-platform barrel chambered in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO, machined from 416R stainless steel for shooters who want a Noveske-grade barrel built to Match tolerances. Noveske Rifleworks hand-polishes the proprietary Noveske Match chamber and cuts a 1:7 twist rate, pins a low-profile .750-inch gas block in place, and finishes the muzzle with 1/2×28 threads and a 60-degree crown. An M4-style barrel extension with extended feed ramps supports reliable feeding, and each barrel ships individually serialized with a gas tube matched to its gas system. Among gun parts and accessories, this Afghan barrel favors AR-15 builders who want a mid-length-capable, Noveske-verified barrel for a do-it-all build.
