Proof Research PR10 20″ .308 Winchester 1:10 Twist Barrel

Description

The Proof Research PR10 is an AR-style barrel option for .308 Winchester / 7.62 NATO platforms, featuring carbon-fiber wrapping and a heavy contour. This barrel measures 20″, uses a 1:10 rate of twist and is built with a rifle-length gas system. It is threaded 5/8-24 for common muzzle devices and is specified with a heavy contour for stability and sustained shooting. Proof Research materials indicate carbon-fiber construction reduces weight and improves heat dissipation when compared to traditional steel barrels of similar contour.
