HODGE DEFENSE
11.5" 5.56 Cold Hammer Forged Barrel
Designed and made to Jim Hodge's specifications, cold hammer forged from FN's proprietary steel. Carbine gas with a port size chosen for a specific job.
Tuned for M855A1
M855A1 EPR is considerably harder on a barrel than what came before it. This barrel was optimized around that, with a 0.0645 inch gas port sized for M855A1 and suppressor use.
FN Steel
The barrel uses FN's proprietary steel, the same alloy FN uses in the M249 SAW. Cold hammer forged, chrome lined, and phosphate coated.
Which Length?
All three run the same FN steel, 1:7 twist, .750 journal, and 1/2x28 threads. The gas system is what changes.
Building the Rest of the Upper
The .750 journal takes the Hodge .750 low profile gas block, which is pre-drilled for pinning.
At this length the 10.75 inch handguards are the natural pairing, in either Pinch Lock or Spine Lock. Hodge also makes a C158 bolt carrier group.
