The Colt LE6920 Replacement Barrel 16-inch is factory-original hardware for shooters and builders who need a direct swap or upgrade for their Colt AR-15 platform rifle. Whether you're replacing a worn barrel on a duty or competition gun, or building a custom AR on a Colt receiver, this barrel delivers the same specifications and quality control as the barrels Colt installs at the factory—no guesswork, no compatibility surprises.
Built around a 1:7-inch twist rate and six-groove rifling, this barrel handles the full range of 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington loads effectively. The M4-style feed ramps ensure reliable feeding from standard magazine-fed setups, while chrome lining inside the bore resists corrosion and extends service life in field conditions. A carbine-length gas system keeps the profile compact and cycles properly with standard AR-15 bolt carrier groups.
The muzzle is threaded 1/2"-28 TPI, the industry standard for AR-15s, so your existing muzzle devices—flash hiders, suppressors, or compensators—will thread right on. Colt offers this barrel in multiple configurations: as a stripped barrel if you're swapping components yourself, with the barrel extension already installed to save a step, or as a complete assembly that includes the barrel nut, front-sight tower, post, and sling swivel for a faster, more straightforward build or replacement. That flexibility means you can match your build style and tooling.
If you're working with a Colt LE6920 platform or a Colt-pattern upper receiver, this is genuine Colt hardware backed by decades of AR-15 manufacturing experience.
