Rogue Operator Bar 3.0

Price varies
cerakotemulti-purposemade-in-usa28.5mmcomposite-bushings

The Operator Bar 3.0 hits the recommended 190,000 PSI threshold and utilizes a Cerakote finish, which research identifies as a top-tier coating for corrosion resistance. It features a snap-ring sleeve design and proprietary composite bushings that exceed the durability of budget bars, though it falls just short of the 200k PSI/Stainless Steel 'absolute' gold standard. At this price point, its American-made construction and metallurgical transparency make it a best-in-class multi-purpose option.
