The Daniel Defense 5.56mm NATO 16″ 1:7″ CMV CHF Carbine-Length M4 Barrel Assembly delivers purpose-built performance for modern varmint, tactical, and duty applications. The 1:7″ twist rate stabilizes heavier 62–77-grain bullets effectively, while the carbine-length gas system ensures reliable cycling in short-gas configurations. Forged from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and finished with Mil-spec heavy phosphate coating and chrome lining, this barrel combines durability with ease of maintenance.
Daniel Defense’s Cold Hammer Forged manufacturing process sets these barrels apart, yielding accuracy and longevity for AR-15 builds. The chrome lining simplifies cleaning, and the carbine profile strikes a balance between compact maneuverability and ballistic performance. This makes it an established choice for patrol rifles, duty guns, and precision carbine builds where durability, repeatable accuracy, and compatibility with M4-pattern components are required.
All Daniel Defense products carry a 100% satisfaction guarantee against defects in original materials and workmanship. This barrel is compatible with standard AR-15 platforms and delivers the reliability and performance that define Daniel Defense quality.
