Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 353:
Description
This lot features a single rifle barrel designed for the AR-15 platform, chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. The barrel is constructed with a lightweight contour characteristic of the DPMS Sportical model and features a matte black Parkerized-style finish. It measures approximately 16 inches in length and includes a barrel extension with a pre-installed indexing pin at the chamber end. The muzzle is threaded to accommodate standard muzzle devices. Toward the center of the barrel is a gas block journal area featuring two pre-drilled holes for pinning a gas block or front sight base. Key markings stamped on the barrel specify the manufacturer and technical specifications, reading verbatim DPMS 5.56 1-9. This indicates it was produced by Defense Procurement Manufacturing Services and features a 1:9 rifling twist rate. The barrel is a standalone component and is missing the gas block, gas tube, flash hider, and other related assembly parts.
Dimensions: 16 3/4″
Condition report:
The barrel is in used condition, showing a matte black Parkerized finish with scattered surface scuffs, light scratches, and handling wear throughout. The gas block journal shows signs of previous installation. The muzzle threads appear clean and undamaged. The bore condition was not internally inspected, but the exterior suggests moderate use.
