- Barrel Profile: Lightweight profiles are great for reduced weight, while bull barrels offer superior accuracy.
- Twist Rate: Match your twist rate to your ammunition for optimal performance, such as a 1:7 twist for heavier bullets.
- Finish: Choose nitride, chrome-lined, or phosphate finishes for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability.
