LBE Unlimited AR-15 5.56 Mid-Length Barrel - Nitride - 16"

LBE Unlimited AR-15 5.56 Barrel measures 16 inches long and is made to accommodate a mid-length gas system. A mid-length will give more time between the initial gas pulse and the initiation of the action of the carrier bolt. The shorter length of the barrel in front of the gas port also gives a shorter dwell time and changes the ratios of the mechanisms upon firing. Overall the extraction will be easier or softer, and the total recoil impulse will feel softer and less jarring. For the user who wants to do less aiming in between trigger pulls, this gentler recoil will mean less movement and less time having to reset in relation to whatever the target may be. Depending on the needs of the user this can be a great advantage.
