Strike Industries recently rolled out their latest offering the Strike Fighter AR15 barrel. The SI Strike Fighter barrel is an 18 inch premium AR15 barrel that features cold hammer forging, fluting, and a rugged LiFe QPQ coating.

Strike Industries state “The SI StrikeFighter is a premium USA made, cold hammer forged barrel designed with serious use and performance in mind. Our proprietary “StrikeFighter” profile is engineered to reduce weight, while at the same time increase stiffness and mitigate barrel whip. The gradual transitions increase strength and reduce heat related differential expansion, allowing for greater shot to shot consistency like a heavier contour barrel, while still weighing less than an equivalent length government profile. Perfect balance facilitates ultra fast close in transitions, but has the weight and stiffness for fine accuracy shot after shot.

Traditional stainless steel barrels may be as accurate, but tend to wear out much faster than chromoly steels. We at Strike Industries don’t agree that there needs to be a compromise at all. By cold hammer forging 416 RS ordnance steel, ultra tough QPQ nitride finished barrels, causing the life expectancy of our barrels to far exceed the typical stainless barrels currently commercially available.”
