Overview

The Centurion Arms Recce barrel represents the company's philosophy of building duty-grade components that excel in suppressed applications. Using cold hammer forged construction with chrome-lined bore and chamber, this barrel is built to withstand the thermal stress and high round counts associated with suppressor use. The Recce contour provides a slightly heavier profile than Centurion's lightweight barrels, offering improved rigidity and heat management for sustained fire scenarios.

What sets the Centurion Recce apart is its conservative gas port sizing, which is specifically tuned for reliable operation with suppressors without requiring an adjustable gas block or other tuning components. This thoughtful engineering means the barrel runs smoothly suppressed right out of the box, with reduced bolt carrier velocity that extends component life and improves shooter comfort. The same chamber dimensions used in Centurion's MK12 barrels ensure consistent accuracy and reliable feeding.

Built to MIL-SPEC 11595E barrel steel standards and featuring 1/7 twist rifling, the Recce barrel stabilizes everything from 55gr to 77gr projectiles with equal confidence. The 1/2x28 threads accommodate standard flash hiders, muzzle brakes, and suppressor mounts. While stocked quantities can be limited due to Centurion's reputation and quality control standards, those who secure these barrels consistently report exceptional performance and longevity in demanding suppressed applications.
