Odin Works 22 ARC 18in Stainless DMR Barrel with Tunable Gas Block

Description

The 22 ARC is one of the most exciting cartridges to hit the AR-15 platform in years, and this 18 inch barrel from Odin Works is a great way to get in on it. Chambered for Hornady's Advanced Rifle Cartridge, it pushes modern high-BC bullets like the 62 grain ELD-VT at velocities that hang right there with the 22-250, except now you get that performance out of a semi auto with cheap, plentiful magazines. Varmint hunters and long range steel ringers have been eating this cartridge up, and for good reason.

What Makes This Odin Works 22 ARC Barrel Worth a Look

Odin Works machines this one from 416R stainless steel, the same grade you'll find in serious match barrels, with a DMR profile that balances rigidity and weight for precision work without turning your rifle into a boat anchor. The 1:7 twist stabilizes the heavy-for-caliber bullets the 22 ARC was designed around, so you can run everything from varmint loads up to the long 75 to 88 grain match stuff. Muzzle threads are the standard 1/2-28, so your existing brakes, comps, and suppressor mounts bolt right on.

Tunable Gas Block and Rifle Length Gas System Included

Here's the part that separates this from a bare barrel: Odin Works includes their .750 tunable gas block and a rifle length gas tube in the box. The rifle length system keeps the gas impulse soft and smooth on an 18 inch tube, and the adjustable block means you can fine tune for suppressed shooting, light varmint loads, or heavy match ammo without overgassing the gun. That is a real advantage with a newer cartridge where factory loads vary, and it saves you from buying those parts separately.

Pair this barrel with a 6.5 Grendel pattern bolt and magazines and you've got the foundation for a legit precision gas gun that will reach way past what a 5.56 barrel can do. If you've been thinking about building a dedicated coyote rig or a fun long range upper, this is a solid place to start.
