The Timber Creek 5.56 10.5" Medium Profile Barrel (Black Nitride) is built for shooters who want a compact AR-15 barrel that balances rigidity, accuracy, and durability. Chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 10.5 inch length, this medium profile barrel uses a black nitride treatment to enhance corrosion resistance and provide a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. The barrel features a mid length gas system, M4 feed ramps, and 1/2x28 threading, and it ships with a free thread protector for immediate use with or without a muzzle device.

This barrel’s 1:7 twist rate is optimized for stabilizing a wide range of modern 5.56 projectiles, making it a strong choice for range work, training, and general-purpose AR builds where compact handling is a priority. The .750 gas block journal offers broad compatibility with popular low-profile gas blocks, while Timber Creek’s 1 MOA accuracy guarantee underscores the precision-focused design. It is an excellent foundation for a reliable, accurate short-barreled rifle or pistol build from a manufacturer known for thoughtful engineering and consistent quality.
