The Wilson Combat Ranger Barrel 5.56 16-inch with intermediate gas system is purpose-built for shooters who refuse to compromise between weight and reliability. If you're running an AR-15 platform rifle for hunting, tactical shooting, or general range work, this stainless steel barrel delivers the accuracy and durability Wilson Combat is known for in a configuration that won't wear you out during long days afield. The Ranger profile taper saves nearly seven ounces compared to heavier match-grade barrels, making it the smart choice for hunters, competition shooters working smaller-frame rifles, or anyone who values a quick-handling carbine over raw heft.
Built from American-made 416R stainless steel on computer-controlled equipment, every Wilson Combat match-grade barrel goes through a meticulous hand-polishing process on the bore and feed ramps, followed by inspection that catches what others miss. The barrel ships with a precisely cut crown, a chamber optimized for reliable feeding and extraction, and a gas port calibrated for the intermediate-length system to ensure consistent cycling. You'll recognize the quality the moment you inspect it—crisp CNC markings, matte bead-blasted finish, and the fit and finish that separates match-grade from run-of-the-mill AR parts.
The 16-inch length strikes the balance hunters and carbine shooters want: short enough to maneuver through brush and vehicle doors, long enough to preserve velocity and sight radius. The 1/2"-28 muzzle threads let you add a suppressor, brake, or flash hider to suit your application. Available as a stand-alone barrel or paired with Wilson Combat's intermediate gas tube, so you can build it exactly how you want.

This barrel is designed for standard AR-15 rifle builds chambered in 5.56 NATO. It uses a .750" diameter gas block seat with set-screw dimples and 1/2"-28 muzzle threads, standard across most modern AR-15 platforms.
Wilson Combat offers this as both a stand-alone barrel and as a barrel-plus-intermediate-gas-tube combo. Check the listing options to select which configuration you need for your build.
Yes. The lightweight Ranger profile taper and 16-inch length make it well-suited for hunting rifles and shooters who want a carbine that's easy to carry and maneuver in the field without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.
The Ranger profile is tapered to reduce weight—saving about seven ounces compared to standard match-grade barrels—while maintaining the same hand-polished bore, precision crown, and match-grade accuracy. It's the same Wilson Combat quality in a lighter, faster-handling package.
