A: Richard, this rifle has a 16" Lightweight Profile Barrel with M4 Feed Ramps, 1:9 Twist with Threaded Muzzle and A2 Flash Hider with a Manganese Phosphate Barrel Finish. Cheers and stay safe!

A: 1.9 twist see del-ton.com/Echo-316L-Optic-Ready-p/orftlw16-0.htm

A: This has a 16 inch barrel with 1:9 twist rate. So this should work well with lighter grain ammo. My 1:9 twist does 40-55 grain ammo very well but once I hit around 62 grain ammo accuracy starts decreasing. Hope this helps.

A: Ronnie, this rifle uses the Del-ton F Series Light Weight profile barrel but they don't list the diameter. Del-ton Customer Service should be able to provide accurate info at 910-645-2172 on by online inquiry here : https://www.del-ton.com/articles.asp?ID=83

A: I was told .750 when I called Del-Ton.

A: Ronnie, the barrel is stamped 5.56 NATO so it will accept either 5.56 or .223. Cheers and stay safe!

A: The barrels chambered for 556 so this can safely shoot both 223 or 556. Barrels stamped with 223 can only shoot 223. But this one's stamped 556 so it can do either. Hope this helps.
