The 16" CrMoV cold-hammer forged barrel of the Springfield Armory SAINT 5.56mm semi-automatic rifle features a birdcage flash hider, a full outer and inner QPQ Melonite treatment, and a 1:8" rifling twist that will efficiently stabilize basically any commercial or military 5.56mm/.223 load – and provide the optimum level of acceleration and stabilization to achieve tighter groups at comparatively longer distances.
