5.56, 1:7, 16", LW, MID

The Daniel Defense 5.56mm NATO 16" 1:7" CMV CHF Mid‑Length Lightweight Barrel Assembly is a precision, mission‑ready replacement barrel engineered for modern sporting rifles. Built from CMV (chromium‑molybdenum‑vanadium) steel and cold‑hammer‑forged for durability, the barrel features a 16‑inch length, a 1:7 twist rate optimized for stabilizing heavier 5.56/.223 projectiles, and a mid‑length gas system for reduced felt recoil and smoother cycling. Its chrome‑lined (or otherwise finished) CHF bore offers long service life and reliable accuracy under sustained use, while the lightweight profile trims overall weight without sacrificing stiffness. Designed to drop into standard AR‑pattern receivers, this assembly suits tactical, competition, and duty applications where consistent performance and rugged longevity are required.

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.
