With ammunition starting to show back up on shelves and hunting season just around the corner, maybe it’s time to build yourself another AR15. Primary Arms is now offering a full lineup of FN America AR15 barrels chambered in 5.56. FN America’s barrels are solid quality and each made from 41V50 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel. The new barrels are available now from the Primary Arms website and are in stock at the time of writing.

FN America AR15 Barrels Now Available Through Primary Arms

FN America’s AR15 barrels cover a wide variety of rifling styles, barrel lengths, gas system lengths as well as profiles. Each of the barrels available at Primary Arms is either cold hammer-forged or button rifled and has a full Manganese Phosphate coating to resist corrosion. Each of the barrels also features standard M4 feed rams and 1:7RH twist rates optimized for use with heavier grain match and precision ammunition.

So what will one of these FN America AR15 Barrels set you back? Primary Arms has stated that these barrels will be priced “fairly” starting at $199.99 and $299.99. On the site, I notice that many of the 16″ and 18″ barrels are priced somewhere in the middle of that price point right around $235.00 in Government Profile. With a barrel being the primary pressure-bearing component of a rifle it is essential that it be made from quality materials and to very precise specifications and dimensions. FN America has a long-standing reputation for having some of the best combat-proven barrels in the business. What have your experiences been with FN America barrels and do you think you might pick one up to start a new AR15 build?

    Random question: When you're cranking out barrels in FN quantities, does making them via cold hammer forging really cost more than button rifling?

    FN's CHF barrels have a $299 MSRP vs the $235 for button rifled at Primary Arms.

      @Uncle Yar I figure it's because they can. There are plenty of choices for button rifled AR barrels, but not so many for CHF. Then some companies like BCM who are getting CHF barrels made for them charge more than FN.
