Rainier Arms has produced a limited run of our Medcon (Medium Contour) barrels in 5.56MM. We took as much weight off the barrel as we could without sacrificing accuracy. We achieved this by leaving the "meat" of the barrel towards the chamber and removing extra weight off the muzzle end where the bullet has less energy. We didn't save a ton off the standard barrel (little over 1 oz). but the balance is much improved for guys who are looking to build the lightest most accurate battle rifle.

Description:

There are a number of advantages to polygonal rifled barrels; such as less bullet deformation, resulting in reduced drag as well as prolonged barrel life, not to mention ease of cleaning. These barrels were made to our exact specifications & drawings and made of 416R Stainless steel. We control the manufacturing process to provide the most accurate barrel in its price range. We are so confident in our Select grade barrels that we will offer a 100% money back guarantee within 90 days of purchase, no questions asked. If you aren’t completely satisfied with the barrel for any reason, return it for a full refund. Guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA at 100 yards with match ammo. You deserve this confidence inspiring barrel for your next custom build.
