The Daniel Defense 5.56mm NATO is a premium, mission‑ready replacement barrel engineered for durability and consistent accuracy. Machined from chrome‑moly‑vanadium and cold‑hammer‑forged for superior strength and extended service life, the 16‑inch Government profile provides a balanced blend of increased muzzle velocity and controllable handling for general‑purpose, duty, and precision use. The 1:7" twist rate reliably stabilizes heavier 62–77‑grain 5.56 NATO projectiles, while the mid‑length gas system paired with a low‑profile gas block promotes smooth cycling and reduced felt recoil. Finished to tight tolerances and compatible with standard 5.56/.223 muzzle devices, this barrel assembly is built for shooters who demand repeatable performance and long‑term reliability in demanding conditions.

All of Daniel Defense’s Barrels offer high performance and a long lasting construction. All barrels are cold-hammer forged and made from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel with a mil-spec heavy phosphate coating as well as a chrome lining for superior durability. In addition, Daniel Defense Barrels are offered in a massive assortment of configurations, with options available for different lengths, gas-blocks, thread pitches, and calibers.
