X2 Dev Group’s AR-X Lightfighter rifles are impressive for their light weight, features, and accuracy. Now, home builders can take advantage of the core of the Lightfighter—the Trident barrel.
The Trident Barrel
X2’s Trident barrel offers excellent rigidity with its fluted barrel. Those barrel flutes also make it much lighter than other comparable barrels. In fact, the Tridents weigh less than many carbon fiber barrels and offer superior heat dispersion.
Rather than having multiple builds for different roles, the Trident lets you have it all. You gain the advantages of a lightweight barrel for handling and target acquisition while retaining a heavy barrel’s improved accuracy and heat dispersion capabilities.
X2 Dev Group’s Trident is chambered in .223 Wylde and has a 1/8 twist. Three barrel lengths are available. A 16″ Mid Length Gas System, a 14.5″ Mid Length Gas System, or a 12.5″ Carbine +1 Length Gas System version. The Tridents are made from 416R Stainless steel and have a black Nitride coating for corrosion resistance. They have M4 feed ramps and one 1/2×28 muzzle threads.
X2 Dev Group offers a Sub-MOA Guarantee on the Tridents with quality ammunition. The rigidity makes them excellent platforms for suppressor mounting as well. The I-beam construction of the barrel flutes not only lightens the weight but also ensures consistency and minimal POI shift. They also help to dissipate heat along the barrel and reduce heat soak and stress. This enhances POI predictability even through long strings of fire.
