New Guns & Gear for 2021—Hughes Ballistics 14.7-Inch 5.56 USGI Carbine Barrel

From Hughes Ballistics

Hughes Ballistics has introduced a 5.56-chambered 14.7-inch USGI Profile Carbine Barrel machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel with a Black Nitride Corrosion Resistant Finish and Black Nitride Corrosion Resistant coated M4 feed ramp extension.

4150 has a 0.50% carbon content and is used for barrels that need to be tougher, have more strength, and higher hardness than 4140 or 4130 can provide. It’s a little less common and takes a little extra effort to machine but produces the right results.
