Rosco Bloodline AR-15 16" 556 Barrel, 1:7 Twist - BL16M45567C was the eighth most added barrel on GunPartPicker in October 2026, behind the Ballistic Advantage Performance Series 5.56 Hanson Mid-Length 3 Gun AR-15 Barrel With Pinned Gas Block - 17.7", with about 2% of all barrels added to builds. Down from #7 in September. Builds with this barrel are nearly all chambered in 5.56 NATO, nearly all on carbine-length gas, and nearly all AR-15.
It was in stock most times we checked in October 2026, but today only Primary Arms has it in stock. It dipped to $152.10 at AT3 Tactical for a stretch in October 2026, under its usual $166.50, so sales do come around. Buying today, the lowest price is $166.50 at Primary Arms, above October's low of $152.10, so a better deal may come back.
