Details

If you are looking to build a high-quality precision AR-15, the Ballistic Advantage 18” .223 Wylde barrel might just be the one for you. It is constructed from 416R stainless steel, which is highly regarded as the best steel for accuracy and features a bead blasted finish for corrosion resistance. The performance series of barrels feature a nickel boron coated extended M4 feed ramp extension for reliable feeding. The SPR profile with straight flutes is designed to be rigid like a heavy barrel while the fluting increases surfaces area for faster cooling and preventing your barrel from getting "heat soaked" which can effect accuracy. The muzzle is threaded 1/2x28, so you can attach muzzle brakes, flash hiders, or suppressors to the end of the barrel. The gas block diameter is .750” with a rifle-length gas system that strikes the perfect balance between reliability and reduced recoil.

Features:
  • Great option for building an accurate and versatile AR-15
  • SPR profile with straight flutes
  • 1:8 twist rate for stabilizing mid-weight rounds
  • Durable bead blasted finish
  • Nickel Boron M4 barrel extension
  • Threaded for all 5.56 and .223 muzzle devices
  • Rifle length gas system for reliable function
  • Guaranteed sub MOA accuracy with match grade ammunition
  • High pressure and magnetic particle inspected


The 223 Wylde chamber is designed to safely shoot both .223 Remington and high pressure 5.56 NATO cartridges for maximum versatility. This chambering allows you to take advantage of extremely accurate match ammo, while also having the ability to shoot cheap Mil-Spec surplus ammo to save money. Every barrel that leaves the Ballistic Advantage assembly line is high pressure and magnetic particle inspected to ensure every dimension is in spec. They are inspected because they believe in providing customers with a barrel that can shoot one-inch groups at 100 yards.

Ballistic Advantage proudly produces quality AR barrels that exceed very stringent demands. Their AR-15 barrels surpass the competition in precision and aesthetics. For barrels that deliver round after round consistently and accurately, choose Ballistic Advantage.

Good so far

I haven't had a chance to shoot to verify accuracy yet, but this is my initial impression. The fluting keeps the weight down to very manageable levels. The weight feels on par with the weight of another AR I have which has a 16" TriArc barrel. Machining on the barrel looks to be well done. The barrel is dimpled for gas block installation.
Will add more opinions after I shoot it.

best bang for your buck

The bead blasted finish is impeccable. Clean and precise machining.
The fluting shaves off 9 oz and it's very noticeable with offhand shooting.
Without break-in, the barrel shoots 73ELD to 3 inches 5-rds group at 300 yards. I am confident it will shoot tighter with more rounds esp. with mk262.
Ballistic Advantage accuracy guarantee is good to go.
