7.5" 5.56 NATO Pistol-Length AR15 Barrel, 1:7 Twist
This 7.5-inch barrel is chambered in 5.56 NATO and built for compact AR-15 pistol platforms where a short, maneuverable configuration is the goal. The 1:7 twist rate is suited to stabilizing a range of common 5.56 NATO grain weights, while the 1/2x28 thread pattern accepts compatible muzzle devices. The government profile and pistol-length design make it a solid component for short-barreled pistol uppers. Made in the USA.
Pairing the correct gas system helps your assembly function as intended. For this length, match it with a pistol-length gas tube, and complete the build with an AR15 pistol caliber lower parts kit.
Need more reach? Compare longer options like the 10.5" carbine-length barrel. As with any barrel, confirm gas system, handguard, and muzzle device fitment before purchasing.
