Ballistic Advantage 16" Hanson 5.56 NATO Barrel with Low Profile Gas Block – AR-15

The Ballistic Advantage 16" Hanson profile barrel combines accuracy and weight savings for AR-15 builds where balance matters. The Hanson profile features a carefully tapered contour that reduces weight forward of the gas block without sacrificing rigidity or barrel life, making it well-suited for general-purpose rifles, duty guns, and hunting applications where you'll carry more than you shoot.

Machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel with a QPQ Nitride finish, this barrel delivers corrosion resistance and extended throat life. The .750" diameter gas block journal accepts standard low profile gas blocks—this barrel includes a pinned low profile gas block pre-installed for immediate assembly. Mid-length gas system provides smooth cycling and reduced wear. Chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 1:7 twist rate for reliable stabilization of 55gr through 77gr projectiles. M4 feed ramp extension ensures reliable feeding with standard AR-15 upper receivers.
