12.5″ CHF 5.56mm Suppressor Optimized Barrel

Incorporating FN’s proprietary steel (the same steel used in the M249 SAW), these barrels were designed and made to Jim’s specifications and optimized for the  M855A1 EPR ammunition, which is far more demanding on barrels. This barrel has a gas port diameter of .0625″ which is optimized for M855A1 and use with suppressors.
