Sons of Liberty Gun Works, Liberty Fighting Barrel, 5.56 NATO, 11.5" Threaded Barrel, 1/2X28 Thread Pitch, Fits AR-15, Medium Contour, Chrome Lined, Carbine-Length Gas, Phosphate Finish, Black - SKU: 115-LFB-556CL - UPC: 657628673316
Product Description
The Sons of Liberty Gun Works (SOLGW) 11.5-Inch Liberty Fighting Barrel in 5.56 NATO (115-LFB-556CL) is a duty-grade carbine barrel engineered specifically for defensive SBRs and hard-use AR-15 pistol platforms. Built to exceed standard government parameters, the 11.5-inch length offers significant velocity increases, dwell time improvements, and reduced parts wear compared to traditional 10.3-inch setups, making it the ideal length for suppressed and unsuppressed tactical staging.
Precision-machined from Mil-Spec 4150 CMV steel and finished with a heavy manganese phosphate outer coating, this Liberty Fighting barrel features a hard chrome-lined bore and chamber. The chrome lining provides exceptional corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and extended erosion life during heavy firing schedules. Featuring a medium contour profile, a 1:7 button twist rate for stabilizing heavy defensive projectiles (69gr–77gr), and a 1/2x28 threaded muzzle, this barrel is gas-ported for proper cycle reliability with duty ammunition.
Equipped with a standard 0.750" gas block journal and a carbine-length gas system, the SOLGW 115-LFB-556CL features high-pressure testing (HPT) and magnetic particle inspection (MPI) certification. Designed for maximum reliability under extreme conditions, this barrel is an essential core upgrade for custom duty builds and tactical AR-15 rifle staging.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Direct drop-in fit for standard AR-15 upper receivers. Requires a 0.750" gas block and carbine-length gas tube.
- Verify host upper receiver is completely clear, bolt carrier group removed, and workspace clear.
- Apply aerosol molybdenum disulfide grease to upper receiver barrel extension threads.
- Insert barrel extension alignment pin into upper receiver index notch and seat barrel firmly.
- Install barrel nut and torque to manufacturer specifications (35–50 ft-lbs), timing properly for handguard alignment.
- Install 0.750" low-profile gas block and carbine-length gas tube, dimpling barrel if applicable, then torque muzzle device to 20–30 ft-lbs with crush washer or timing shims.
