The Proof Research PR15 Steel AR-style barrel is a 16-inch stainless steel barrel chambered for 6mm ARC and built for AR-platform rifles. Proof Research uses a Caliber Matched Gas System (CAMGAS) tuned to the cartridge and barrel length to normalize gas pressure, which results in a softer recoil impulse and improved extraction reliability. This barrel features a 1:7.5 rate of twist and a threaded muzzle with a 5/8-24 pattern. It is configured as a rifle-length gas system component and is intended for use in AR-style builds where a durable, high-pressure-capable steel barrel is required.
