Description

Ballistic Advantage 5.56 Barrel – 16 Inch Hanson Profile Performance Series

Premium 5.56 Barrel Materials and Build

The Ballistic Advantage Performance Series Hanson Profile Barrel gives AR-15 shooters the reliability and precision they demand. Ballistic Advantage machines this 5.56 barrel from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel, so it handles heat and stress with ease. In addition, the QPQ corrosion resistant finish hardens the surface and protects it from moisture, wear, and harsh conditions. As a result, you get a sleek black barrel that stays looking sharp after thousands of rounds. Furthermore, a Nickel Boron coated M4 feed ramp extension keeps feeding smooth and reliable.

Hanson Profile Advantages

Ballistic Advantage designed their Hanson contour to balance weight savings with rigidity. Unlike heavy government profiles, this design trims material where it adds no value. Consequently, the barrel weighs less but still shoots with outstanding accuracy. Moreover, the mid-length gas system cycles softer and reduces felt recoil. This means less wear on your bolt carrier group and buffer spring over time. Because of these features, this 5.56 barrel stands out as one of the best mid-length options on the market today.

Included Low-Profile Gas Block

This barrel ships with a pinned low-profile gas block already installed. Therefore, you save time and get proper gas alignment right out of the box. The lo-pro block fits under most free-float handguards for a clean look. Additionally, the 1/2×28 muzzle threads accept flash hiders, brakes, and suppressor mounts. You can also pair this barrel with items from our gas block collection or browse more barrel options to finish your upper build.

Why Choose Ballistic Advantage

Ballistic Advantage delivers match-grade accuracy at a price that fits every budget. They inspect and test every barrel before it leaves the factory. As a result, shooters trust the Performance Series for duty-grade builds. In short, this 5.56 barrel offers the quality and consistency that both competitive and recreational shooters expect.
