Ballistic Advantage 5.56 NATO 16" CHF Hanson Mid-Length Barrel – AR-15

The Ballistic Advantage 16" Hanson mid-length barrel delivers accuracy and reliability through cold hammer forging and a profile optimized for balance. The CHF process creates a dense, stress-relieved bore that resists throat erosion and maintains consistent accuracy through high round counts. The Hanson profile reduces weight forward of the gas block without sacrificing rigidity, making this barrel ideal for shooters who want a maneuverable rifle that holds zero under rapid fire.

This barrel features a mid-length gas system for smoother cycling and reduced felt recoil compared to carbine-length systems. The government profile with Hanson optimization is compatible with standard AR-15 upper receivers and accepts standard barrel nuts. Chambered in 5.56 NATO to safely fire both 5.56 and .223 Remington ammunition. Chrome-lined bore and chamber resist corrosion and simplify cleaning. Requires proper headspacing and torque specifications during installation—professional gunsmith installation recommended if unfamiliar with AR-15 assembly.
