Black River Tactical
BRT 16" OPTIMUM SR CL Barrel
Black River Tactical Standard Rifled Chrome Lined Barrels are designed and built to meet the needs of serious shooters who demand accuracy and durability along with seamless suppressor compatibility.
Black River Tactical SR CL barrels start with a high grade stress relieved blank using a 6R button rifling process and certified material. The barrels use a medium-light taper profile to keep weight down while maintaining strength. This produces a balanced weapon when a suppressor and other accessories are added. The barrels are finished with an advanced hard chrome lining process that maintains accuracy and withstands severe firing schedules.
Black River Tactical SR CL barrels deliver the performance to get the job done in demanding real world conditions.
