AR-15 – 17 REM FIREBALL

Description

AR-15 .17 Remington Fireball Custom Barrel

We make this AR-15 barrel chambered in .17 Remington Fireball. Here’s what the cartridge means and what to check before ordering a custom barrel.

Why .17 Remington Fireball?

.17 Remington Fireball is a small-bore centerfire cartridge that uses .17-caliber bullets. It’s associated with varmint shooting and differs considerably from the much more common .223/5.56 chamberings.

Don’t confuse it with .17 Remington or rimfire .17 cartridges. Similar caliber numbers do not mean the ammunition is interchangeable.

Customize Your AR-15 Barrel

• Material and twist: Review the barrel steel and rifling twist choices for this chambering.
• Length and muzzle: The available lengths and muzzle finishes depend on the product options.
• Gas system: Check the offered gas-system lengths, gas-tube and gas-block options.
• Profile and finish: Review the barrel profile, gas-block diameter, fluting and other finishing selections.
• Related parts: Look for any matching-bolt or customer-supplied component requirements.

Before You Order

• Confirm the chambering: Order for .17 Remington Fireball, not another cartridge with a similar name.
• Verify the rifle: Confirm your receiver, bolt and other relevant components are appropriate for this chambering.
• Check your choices: Each barrel is made to the specifications on your order. Make sure the selected options and related parts are correct.

Barrel Options Explained

CM and SS: CM is chrome-moly steel, which needs protection against rust. SS is stainless steel, which resists corrosion better but still needs regular care. Check the listed material/twist choices for this chambering.

Twist rate: A marking such as 1:10 means the rifling makes one complete turn over ten inches. It isn’t a barrel-length measurement.

Gas-system length: The selections for this barrel include Pistol-length (about 4 inches) and carbine-length (about 7 inches). These describe nominal gas-system layouts, not barrel length or the tube’s exact measured length.

What is a gas tube? In a conventional AR system, the gas block directs some gas through a small tube toward the action. The tube is a separate component from the barrel and gas block. If you need one supplied, review the Add Gas Tube? option where offered. Gas-tube selection corresponds to the applicable gas-system layout.

Barrel profile: This barrel offers Light, SOCOM and HBAR contours. These describe the barrel’s exterior shape and amount of material. A lighter contour generally weighs less, while heavier contours have more material.

Gas-block size and selection: This product shows .750 and .875-inch gas-block mounting sizes. Those numbers describe the barrel’s outside diameter at the mounting area, not bullet caliber. The block can be selected as an add-on where offered. Fixed and adjustable designs are different options. Customers with their own compatible block can choose a no-block option where available; matching diameter alone doesn’t establish full compatibility.

Muzzle finishes: A target crown is an unthreaded muzzle finish. The threaded option for this barrel is 1/2×28.

Barrel extension: This steel component at the rear of the barrel provides the locking surfaces for the bolt. It isn’t the gas block.

Fluting and finishes: Fluting cuts grooves along the outside of the barrel. Cerakote and other listed finishes affect appearance and surface protection.
