    I agree. Slight correction, the Hanson is 11.3".
    The Hanson line pinned gas block is a nice bonus - no need to purchase a GB.

    I honestly have no interest in the non-Hanson BA barrels.

    Thanks for the correction, and I concur, I don't care about their other barrels. I know that they are sister or partner companies with Aero Precision, and make go into SOLGW guns, as well as various other brands. I have a 13.9" BA upper of their I was going to build out, but I have too many other projects going on for that currently.

    I have had pretty good results/ luck with all but 1 barrel I have purchased... strangely enough it was a 13.9 that would NOT shoot / group at all !! I returned it to PA for a 13.7 that was a tack driver...

    All the other barrels I had were very good. I think their QC went down during the Flu... and it is back up now.
    I only run their Hanson profile on all my builds now...
    I DID seem to find that if you don't clean the barrel before going out to zero you don't get the best results...once cleaned out it seems accuracy improves ..and then just continues to get better... I think initial cleaning is the key..at least it has been for me.
