AR Type Profiles

The following is a list of AR15 and AR10 type profiles that we are currently turning. Some of these are available as drop-in’s only and some are available as turned barrels only (not drop-in’s) and a couple are available either way. To see a CAD drawing of each profile click on the orange barrel profile name in the left column.
