Rosco Manufacturing takes their barrels seriously. Rather than entrust someone else's blanks or machining, they produce every barrel from scratch, controlling every step of the manufacturing process. The Bloodline series is cut from high-strength 41V50 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel, the same stuff chosen for the rifles used by our military for its exceptional durability. Improving on the military-grade barrels, the Bloodline-series are finished with a highly corrosion resistant, low friction salt bath nitride treatment, making cleaning easier than ever. By producing these barrels entirely in house, they've also been able to tune each barrel by selecting the optimal twist rates, gas port diameters, dwell times, and materials according to the needs of each barrel.
This 16" barrel is machined to a balanced Government contour, offering a solid balance between rigidity and weight. The smooth shooting mid-length gas system ensures your rifle gets the optimal amount of gas for reliable cycling while offering smoother recoil characteristics. The 5.56 NATO chamber is fully compatible with .223 Remington ammunition, with a 1:7 twist rate that is perfect for heavier, precision-oriented cartridges, but is thoroughly functional with popular and less expensive bullet weights.
Rosco Manufacturing got their start producing high quality, hard-use precision rifle barrels. They have since expanded, offering their own line of serious use parts and accessories so you can assemble a rifle that doesn't just shoot good and look good, but will handle hard use as well. To top it off, they're production facility is in Central Falls, Rhode Island so you know that every component is 100% made in America, by Americans.

More than I hoped for
by Michael -
I debarred a rifle with this barrel…WOW. I have a hunting/pest control load I use and it shoots lights out. Grouped the rifle with the ammo twice. First 5 shot group .96 MOA. 2nd group 10 shot .75 MOA. UNREAL FROM A GAS GUN.
Accuracy isn’t there
by MN -
I’m about 300 rounds in on this barrel and I can’t get better than 4-5 MOA out of it, even with match ammo. The fit and finish of the barrel is nice, so the lack of performance was surprising.
Awesome barrel

Everything I expected from Rosco manufacturing top quality products
Would buy again

Heard very good things about Rosco barrels. This is my first barrel from Rosco, went to dimple the barrel and went too deep which is my fault. This barrel is softer than Aero or Ballistic. Still a good quality barrel for a great price. Primary Arms is always top notch with prices and customer service!
Excellent Barrel
by Dom
Quality barrel, I got quarter sized 5 round groups at 25m from the prone unsupported with 55 grain, so as accurate as any decent AR barrel I've shot (daniel, colt, etc...). It ran fine with a carbine buffer so I would say its gassed well. To top it off, its pre-dimpled.
Truly impressed.

I have a lot a AR's and this is the first Rosco barrel I have "knowingly" tried. Right off the bat I was immediately impressed with how well gassed this thing was. The second thing that amazed me was the accuracy of this barrel and the lack of flyers. For the price I really don't think you will find a better barrel on the market.
Badass barrel
by Deuce -
I had the 14.5" bloodline in carbine length and loved it, but got sick of arbitrary "pistol" attachment restrictions. Upgraded to 16" with mid-length gas system and it runs about the same, but now I can have a big boy rifle stock and a vertical grip between my mag and afg. Anyway, I'm really glad I decided to stick with the rosco barrel!
Great Barrel
by CB -
First time purchase of this brand and I have to say they knock it out of the park. Looks, function all where needs to be. I will buy again
Dimpled for the win
by Neo Matrix
Excellent nitrided barrel and PROPERLY gassed. Running a springco blue with Expo H3 buffer and its perfect ejection. Fit and finish is better than expected would definitely recommend.
Perfect
