Description
This is a single AR-15 pattern pistol barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO, designed for use in a compact pistol-length gas system configuration. The barrel features a heavy profile and is treated with a durable matte black finish, likely a salt bath nitride or parkerized coating, for enhanced corrosion resistance. It measures 8 inches in length and includes a pre-installed breech extension with feed ramps and a pre-drilled gas port. Verbatim markings near the breech end read RA 5.56 8P. The muzzle is threaded for standard muzzle devices, and the item is provided with protective orange and green plastic caps on either end. The interior bore displays clean, sharp rifling, and the overall construction is consistent with modern manufacturing standards for short-barreled tactical builds.
Dimensions: 7.5″
Condition report:

The bore is bright with crisp rifling and no evidence of fouling. Protective caps are intact and the breech extension and feed ramps appear well-machined and clean.
