Ballistic Advantage 5.56 11.3″ Hanson Performance Barrel .625

Description

This Ballistic Advantage Performance Series barrel gives you a compact setup without cutting corners on quality or accuracy. Built from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel with a salt bath nitride finish, it stands up to hard use and keeps you shooting. The 11.3-inch length is purpose-built for short-barreled platforms, and the carbine-length gas system gives you proper dwell time and reliable cycling at this length.

Hanson Profile Design for Balance

What sets this barrel apart is the proprietary BA Hanson profile. It's thinner and lighter than standard contours without sacrificing structural integrity. The .625 gas block journal makes this version even more lightweight compared to the original Hanson design. The shoulder-less profile minimizes barrel whip and lets your gun return to zero faster, which matters when you're shooting follow-ups. You get a lightweight feel without the limitations that usually come with going smaller.

Ready to Go Out of the Box

The low-profile gas block comes pre-pinned from the factory, so there's no guessing or worry about it shifting during installation. It's dimpled and comes with a coil pin already in place. The Nickel Boron-coated M4 feed ramp extension handles high round counts without wearing down the way standard ramps do. This is a high-wear area, and the harder coating keeps everything running smooth.

Accuracy You Can Depend On

Ballistic Advantage backs every barrel with a guarantee of sub-MOA accuracy when you're using match-grade ammunition. The 1:7 twist rate handles heavier rounds well, which helps with ballistic performance out of a short barrel. You get threaded 1/2×28 muzzle for whatever suppressor or brake setup you want to run. All barrels are high-pressure tested and magnetic particle inspected before they leave the shop.
