CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. – Rosco Manufacturing, an expert American manufacturer of hard-use precision rifle barrels, is excited to announce the launch of the 11.5” Limited, ‘Husky’ Phosphate/Chrome 5.56 Nato. This barrel extends its limited Husky series and serves as a HBAR/Heavy Barrel option ideal for precision shooting.
“As our limited series continues, we wanted to give you our take on a ‘SOCOM’ 11.5,” said Rosco Manufacturing President Mike D’Angelo Jr. “While this barrel is only a few ounces more than our Bloodline 11.5? barrel, the rugged ‘Husky’ profile helps defeat the heat and reduce barrel whip, making for an accurate and enjoyable shooting experience.”
This barrel is phosphate coated with a chrome lined chamber and bore. Additional features of the 11.5? ‘Husky’ barrel include a carbine length gas system and total weight of 25.9 ounces. Like all Rosco barrels, the 11.5’’ Limited ‘Husky’ barrel is completed in-house using U.S. sourced steel and, as expected from Rosco, is button-rifled allowing for the high-level accuracy that is required for successful precision shooting.

I’ve done a lot of FA shooting and nothing soaks up the heat like heavier profile barrels, but it’s a double-edged sword. They take forever to cool down and a vertical grip is advisable. Even with max shielding and gloves it get uncomfortable.
