We designed our CORE Series barrels with tactical shooters in mind. These barrels address issues with weight distribution, balance, and handling, while increasing performance through consistent harmonics and uniform heat dissipation.
The CORE Series feature a modern, continuous taper profile that eliminates steps and harsh variations in diameter. The steel is redistributed where it is needed most: surrounding the chamber. Added weight over the chamber absorbs heat evenly during hard use and moves the balance of the rifle closer to the body for increased control. This setup optimizes balance when shooters use modern accessories such as LPVOs, lights, suppressors, or clip-on night vision devices, and IR lasers; these components boost the capabilities of the rifle but can hinder the shooter’s performance by increasing front-end weight. The front end of the CORE Series remains light and fast for better handling, balance, and speed.
The CORE Series helps you handle real-world applications by maintaining exceptional performance and rugged reliability during hard use. These barrels work for you wherever mobility is a priority and performance is essential.
ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES
Include a bolt, bolt carrier group, gas block, and gas tube that pair well with our barrels. Our headspace service guarantees optimal bolt to barrel fitment using premeasured bolts and certified headspace gauges. This helps to maximize the performance and function of your build. Choose from a BCM Bolt Assembly, BCM Bolt Carrier Group, or Fulton Armory Bolt Carrier Group. Pair a Badger Ordnance .625 Gas Manifold and BCM Gas Tube with your purchase. Every product offered is backed by our satisfaction guaranteed.
HEADSPACE
Headspace (the bolt to barrel fitment), must be checked for optimal performance and reliability. Proper headspace produces consistent chamber pressures and seating depths which results in increased accuracy and reliability, while reducing wear and tear on internal parts and components.
FEATURES
- .223 Wylde chamber that safely and reliably fires both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO with improved accuracy due to more consistent chamber pressures
- Chrome-lined for improved barrel life and corrosion resistance without degrading accuracy through our chrome-lining process, which is the most refined in the industry
- Honed and hand-lapped for superior bore uniformity and easier cleaning, as well as improved and consistent accuracy
- Polished chamber for reliable extraction and feeding
- Carbine gas system with optimized gas port for suppressed or unsuppressed use
- 0.625” dimpled gas block journal for easy and secure installation
- ½ x 28 TPI muzzle threads compatible with most muzzle devices and suppressors
- Precision-machined barrel extension for safe and reliable feeding
