The LMT Defense 16-inch 5.56 NATO barrel assembly is designed for compatibility with LMT's MRP-L (Light) monolithic receiver platform. Featuring a 1:7-inch right-hand twist rate and chrome-lined construction, this barrel assembly is built for durability and dependable performance. Its mid-length gas system uses a straight gas tube and low-profile gas block, while the included A2 birdcage flash hider helps reduce visible muzzle flash. Constructed from chromoly steel, the barrel is coated and cryogenically treated for long-term durability. The direct-impingement operating system and mid-length gas configuration are designed around the LMT monolithic platform, making compatibility an important consideration when selecting this replacement or upgrade component.
