Description

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 most 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 Extreme Reduced Gas Port Barrel is a silencer-optimized barrel that is designed to work with the HIGHEST Back pressure cans*. The reduced gas port helps to minimize gas blowback, felt recoil, and carbon build-up, resulting in a smoother and more comfortable shooting experience. Being that the 12.5″ barrel is a mid-length gas system, it is already an extremely soft shooting barrel. We highly recommend pairing the Reduced Gas 12.5″ barrels with high back pressure silencers like the SilencerCo Saker K, OCL Polonium, or YHM Turbo series etc.

This upper is extremely underrated and slept on! My “go-to” was my 11.5” Geissele Super Duty and now it’s this (12.5” SIONICS)! Pair this with an A5 buffer system and this thing runs so smooth! Amazing guys to work with and we’re also very helpful. A great company with great products and customer service to match.
