Vietnam-Style Outer Barrel
Inspired by the iconic Vietnam-era M60, this configuration preserves the classic profile while shedding serious mass.
The original barrel measures 19.5″. Our redesigned version measures 14″ from the same reference point, delivering a dramatic reduction in length and weight.
Weight savings?
A staggering 10 oz vs roughly 4 lbs for the original (including bipod). Yes—really.
MK43 / M60 9″ Compact Outer Barrel
Compact. Rugged. Ready to roll.
The 9″ MK43/M60 Outer Barrel is a lightweight, modern alternative that drops front-end bulk to just 0.24 lb, making it ideal for agile, low-drag builds without sacrificing durability or visual punch.
Recommended inner barrel length: 310mm (not included)
