    ballistic advantage barrels

    I have a couple of their barrels. The 18” SPR and the 8.5”.300 blackout barrel. No issues with them.

    I have one BA Hanson barrel, 11.3" 5.56, and no issues. The pistol built around it has been reliable and adequately accurate for my needs.

    Hit or miss from what I have heard or seen.

    One person I know, couldn't group with their 1/8 SS 223 Wylde. I had the same barrel in one of my own before it was sold, it was a 1.5 at best, and the new owner says it's a nail driver. A friend had their Mk12 barrel, and couldn't get it to group any less than 2" no matter what he tried. I have a cheap Modern series government profile and it's 1'5" like the other I had but was a "match" barrel. The A1 1/12 Brownells 20" clone that BA makes for them, I heard so much positive that I decided to give up my quest for an A1 or SP1 original and bought the BA made barrel for my retro 603 clone. That thing grouped like a shotgun now matter what In tried. Ending up finding a mint A1 C marked barrel and the groups were like I remembered back when I was in basic.

    I got one of their 16" non threaded Modern series barrells , SKU:BABL556031MN-BAPA100013, purchased in 2017 for a NY compliant upper. No issues or blemishes with the barrel (I didn't gauge it) and it installed easily. It's been fed XM193 and Wally World .223 and zeroed without issue. I didn't measure the groups on it, but they were acceptable to me, considering the ammo used. YMMV. I picked because it was available without threads and could be order with a pinned lo pro gas block.

    I have a 9.5 inch Hanson 300BO barrel that has performed very well without any issues.

    1 BA 11.3 barrel on latest sbr build, very nice performance thus far though early in our relationship. Everything fit together nice and tight. I’d purchase again in a heartbeat.

    I've been happy with the 16" BA Hanson so far. I'm getting sub 2 MOA (1.3", 1.4" and 1.7" measured at 100 yards) groups with match ammo. It's actually gassed lighter than I expected (.074 gas port), but is running quite well. Consistent over the shoulder ejection unsuppressed. Consistent side ejection with my suppressor, which has a fair amount of back pressure.

    I have a Ballistic Advantage 16" .223 Wylde 1/8 twist SPR stainless steel midlength AR-15 barrel, Premium Series on one of my AR builds. I am really pleased with the performance and accuracy that barrel provides. For the money, they are good barrels.
