The Proof Research PR15 PXT is a 16.00" carbon fiber AR-15 barrel chambered in .223 Wylde, so it runs both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO with match-level accuracy. This version uses an intermediate-length gas system with a .750 gas block journal and .093 gas port, a setup that suits a 16.00" barrel well, and the 5/8-24 threaded muzzle takes a brake or suppressor. It arrives fully chambered and ready to install.
PXT, PROOF Exponential Twist, reworks the rifling geometry and twist progression with a much lower lead angle, so the bullet engages the rifling more gradually. Proof engineered it to lower engraving force and throat erosion, cut felt torque for steadier follow-up shots, and extend barrel life while holding the accuracy standard expected from a Proof barrel. The 1:7 PXT twist handles the heavy match bullets .223 Wylde shooters favor.
