NEW!! Rainier Arms Select™ 16″ 5.56MM MEDCON Barrel

Posted on September 27th, 2012 by ar15news

Rainier Arms has produced a limited run of their Medcon (Medium Contour) Select™ 16″ barrels in 5.56MM. They took as much weight off the barrel as they could without sacrificing accuracy. This was achieved by leaving the “meat” of the barrel towards the chamber and removing extra weight off the muzzle end where the bullet has less energy. This didn’t save a ton off the standard barrel (little over 1 oz) but the balance is much improved for guys who are looking to build the lightest most accurate battle rifle. Another unique / highend feature is the Polygonal Rifling (more details below). This new barrel comes with a sub-MOA guarantee and a 90 day, no questions asked, 100% money back guarantee. You can also choose between both Black Oxide and Matte Stainless. The value is a huge key here. It might sound like a barrel you’d expect to pay $350-400 for but these brand new barrels are just $225. Can’t beat that!! Check out the specs, additional pictures and purchase link below.

Description:
There are a number of advantages to polygonal rifled barrels; such as less bullet deformation, resulting in reduced drag as well as prolonged barrel life, not to mention ease of cleaning. These barrels were made to our exact specifications & drawings and made of 416R Stainless steel. We control the manufacturing process to provide the most accurate barrel in its price range. We are so confident in our Select grade barrels that we will offer a 100% money back guarantee within 90 days of purchase, no questions asked. If you aren’t completely satisfied with the barrel for any reason, return it for a full refund. Guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA at 100 yards with match ammo. You deserve this confidence inspiring barrel for your next custom build.
