ELD Performance "Cork" Alpha Series LR-308 20" 6.5 Creedmoor, Rifle Gas, 1-8T, Nitride Barrel with Nickel Boron Extension
General Barrel Info: The "Cork" barrel on an LR-308 originally operates under a 'gas impingement' system, by tapping gas off of the barrel and cycling it back through the gas system to assist the bolt carrier in unlocking and extracting the spent cartridge. LR-308 Barrels come in four different specifications for gas systems, Pistol, Carbine, Mid-Length, and Rifle. LR-308 Barrels vary between profiles as well from Government, to Heavy, and Slim. Thanks to the modularity of LR-308, you can choose different calibers starting with the barrel, each with its specific twist rates. Choosing your barrel for your next LR-308 build has never been easier.
About This Barrel: The Barrel is made by ELD Performance it is 20" long, and is machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium and finished in a Nitride appearance. Chambered for 6.5 Creedmoor, using a H-Bar design, this barrel will fit your next LR-308 build perfectly.
About the Profile: H-Bar - A heavy barrel adds a lot of weight to the rifle but a rifle thus equipped is more accurate than a rifle with a normal barrel because a heavy barrel heats up much more slowly than a normal barrel. With more material added, a heavy barrel by design is structurally stronger and more accurate.

Caliber: 6.5Creedmoor - This barrel is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, an intermediate version of .308 Winchester, with a higher muzzle velocity and ballistic performance at longer ranges. 6.5 Creedmoor was developed for the LR-308 / AR-10 and is the preferred caliber of many long-range enthusiasts due to its consistent performance at extreme ranges.
Material: 4150 CrMoV - Chrome-Moly Vanadium, or simply "CMV", is the official mil-spec gun steel developed by Colt Firearms for the military-issued M16 and M4. It contains the same elements as 4150 steel. It also contains Vanadium. Vanadium significantly increases the strength, hardness, and high-temperature stability of the steel.
Finish: Nitride - Nitriding is a process during manufacturing that diffuses nitrogen into the steel to make a case-hardened surface for improved resistance and strength. A Nitrided barrel typically have a gloss black texture.
Thread Pitch: 5/8x24 - 5/8x24 Threads are commonly found on barrels chambered in .30 Cal and up. Usually .308 Win, .300BLK, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 7.62x39. Muzzle Devices such as flash hiders, blast cans, and compensators will work with this barrel.
