The Christensen Arms 16-inch .223 Wylde Carbon Fiber Barrel (brand part no. 8100003114) applies precision engineering adopted from the aerospace industry to an AR-15 barrel. Christensen Arms wraps a match-grade 416R stainless steel liner in a proprietary layered carbon fiber design, giving marksmen the accuracy and performance benefits of a heavy stainless barrel with less weight out at the muzzle end. The liner is measured to a tolerance of plus or minus .0001 inch, and Christensen Arms carries that same tight-tolerance approach across its entire carbon fiber barrel lineup.
