Why Choose This TacFire .308 Barrel?
Versatile 16" Length: Shorter OAL for faster handling and easier transport while still delivering strong .308 terminal performance.
Black Nitride Durability: Ferritic nitrocarburizing on bore and exterior increases wear resistance, reduces fouling adhesion, and simplifies maintenance.
AR-10/DPMS Compatibility: Built around the most common large-frame AR spec for straightforward fit with quality receivers and free-float handguards.
Accuracy-Minded Profile: Stiff 16" configuration supports consistent harmonics and point-of-impact stability with match or hunting loads.
Long Service Life: Nitride finish helps resist throat erosion—ideal for high-volume training, steel, and seasonal hunts.
