Ballistic Advantage 5.56 NATO 16" Mid-Length Government Profile Barrel – 1:7 Twist, AR-15

This Ballistic Advantage 16-inch barrel delivers reliable performance for AR-15 builds chambered in 5.56 NATO. The mid-length gas system reduces felt recoil and port pressure compared to carbine-length systems, while the government profile provides a proven balance of weight and heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions. The 1:7 twist rate stabilizes heavier projectiles from 62 to 77 grains, making this barrel suitable for both general-purpose and precision applications.

Machined from 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel with a QPQ nitride finish inside and out, this barrel resists corrosion and extends throat life. The M4 feed ramp extension ensures reliable feeding with standard AR-15 upper receivers. Requires a mid-length gas block and gas tube (not included). Compatible with standard AR-15 barrels nuts and handguards.
