Description

If you choose either the Silencer Dedicated or Extreme Reduced Gas Port Barrel, your Complete Upper Receiver will not come with the SIONICS A2 Style Flash Hider. If desired, you can send your own muzzle device to be installed on your Upper Receiver. If you would like to use your own Muzzle Device, please email sales@sionicsweaponsystems.com and you will receive instructions for mailing. 

The SIONICS Extreme Reduced Gas Port Barrel is a silencer-optimized barrel that is designed to work with .30 caliber or full-size silencers. The reduced gas port helps to minimize gas blowback, felt recoil, and carbon build-up, resulting in a smoother and more comfortable shooting experience. THE SIONICS EXTREME REDUCED GAS PORT BARREL IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE WITH FLOW-THROUGH SILENCERS.

Here are some of the benefits of using the SIONICS Extreme Reduced Gas Port Barrel:

  • Reduced gas blowback: The reduced gas port helps to reduce the amount of gas that is expelled from the barrel when the gun is fired. This can help to reduce the amount of gas that is blown back into the shooter’s face, which can be uncomfortable and can also cause eye irritation.
  • Reduced felt recoil: The reduced gas port also helps to reduce the amount of felt recoil that the shooter experiences. This is because the reduced gas port helps to slow down the movement of the bolt carrier group, which in turn reduces the amount of recoil that is felt by the shooter.
  • Reduced carbon build-up: The reduced gas port also helps to reduce the amount of carbon build-up that occurs inside the gun. This is because the reduced gas port helps to reduce the amount of gas that is expelled from the barrel, which in turn reduces the amount of carbon that is deposited inside the gun.

 

The SIONICS Silencer Dedicated Barrel has the smallest gas port and is designed to work with silencers with a lot of back pressure like K sized (short) silencers. The reduced gas port helps to minimize gas blowback, felt recoil, and carbon build-up, resulting in a smoother and more comfortable shooting experience. THE SIONICS SILENCER DEDICATED BARREL IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE WITH FLOW-THROUGH SILENCERS.

  1. Cade Prutzman

    Hands down the best bang for buck receiver out there. Every part of it is quality made and assembled, zero malfunctions over 1.2k rounds in. Perfectly gassed and feels like smooth glass to manipulate. I’ll be buying Sionics for all my future builds.

  2. Redacted

    Best upper receiver I’ve ever used. Ive had it for about 2 years and 10,000 rounds and I’ve yet to have a malfunction still. Great warranty for when my barrel gets shot out or anything happens. Sionics over BCM any day.

Here at SIONICS, we test fire EVERY BCG, upper receiver group, and firearm.

Our test firing process is simple:

  • BCGs get 5 rounds of M193 and another single round in a separate magazine to ensure function, ejection pattern, and lock-back.
  • All upper receiver groups and firearms get 7 rounds of M193 and another single round in a separate magazine to ensure function, ejection pattern, and lock-back.

SIONICS handguards are incredibly rigid and the inherent design features ensure anti-rotation. Through rigorous testing both by SIONICS and the many LE agencies using SIONICS rifles we can ensure zero retention when using IR/VIS aiming devices.

SIONICS handguards feature QD attachment points at the forward and rear 3 and 9 o’clock positions. SIONICS QD receiver sockets are anti-rotational.

The SIONICS barrels utilize 5R Rifling. 5R Rifling helps fight bullet failure due to a softer angle on the sides of the lands vs. conventional style rifling that utilizes 90° corners of the lands, which is a very hard edge.  Furthermore, with 5R, you have 5 lands in the bore of the barrel.  The odd number of lands does not directly oppose one another. The combination of these two things deforms the bullet less – less distortion to the bullet jacket when the bullet makes the jump from the case into the rifling.  This helps fight bullet failure and increases the inherent accuracy of the barrel.  Lastly, the gentler edges of lands on the 5R Rifling allow easier cleaning of the bore.  The 90° corners of conventional rifling make it harder to reach lead and other contaminants when cleaning.  The softer edges of the lands on 5R Rifling allow for a much more thorough cleaning process.

By sending all of our barrels to Radiograph, or X-Ray testing we are able to identify possible structural defects within the barrel.

This is an example of a barrel defect that would not be detected to the naked eye.
