Brownells Government Barrel Assemblies – Chrome Lined and Indivdually Inspected. The Brownells Government Barrel Assemblies are manufactured by a US Government Contractor for M4 barrels and are held to exacting standards. These barrels feature a hard chrome bore, applied over button rifling. Each barrel is High Pressure Tested, followed by Magnetic Particle Inspection and gauging to ensure there are absolutely zero imperfections. Assemblies are as ready-to-install as possible, with slip ring assembly, non-marked front sight base and handguard cap pre-installed. Handguard caps are appropriate for the barrel length, with M4 Carbine assemblies featuring a round cap, and the rifle length featuring the proper triangle. Barrel material is 4150 chrome moly steel. 5.56x45mm chamber and 1-7 twist will ensure acceptance and desired performance with 62 grain and greater bullets. This manufacturer works with trusted US based partners to source MIL-spec assembly components including barrel extensions and front sights. All NFA rules apply.
