Shoots great

by -

I am able to good grouping even with cheap ammo(Tula). only down side is that there is no dimple for your gas block. Not hard to do it yourself but many other manufacturers do it for you from the factory. But overall great barrel

Quality Barrel

by -

My BA barrel arrived quickly and packed neatly in a box containing a separate protective tube. The fit and finish on the barrel appears to be well done and the fit into my Expo Arms upper receiver is very snug. I'm sure it will make for years of great shooting. Will definitely purchase another for my next build. Thanks PA!

Nice barrell for a great price

Have not used them yet. Seems like a nice barrell for a great price.

not dimpled for your gas block

by -

Ballistic Advantage makes good barrels, but when installing the mil spec gas block, it spun freely. Without a dimple for the set screws, it is a real liability.

I tried several different mil spec gas blocks, all spun freely.

I had a machinist friend dimple the barrel for me so I could reliably attach a gas block.

To make this great bargain worth while, I would suggest a quick dimpling by your local drill press.

Well done..

The quality machining and finish is evident. Haven't put it together yet to test, however l trust it'll be spot on.

BALLISTIC ADVANTAGE MODERN SERIES 16" 5.56 NATO GOVERNMENT CONTOUR 1:7 NITRIDE AR-15 BARREL - MID-LENGTH - 1/2X28

by -

I have used a few of these barrels with great success. These barrels have shot consistent 3/4 MOA with factory ammo and 1/2 MOA when handloaded ammo was used at 100 yards.

Great Barrel !

by -

I bought this barrel before it went on sale and it was definitely worth the price. Tight groupings and high quality finish too.
Hope this helps!

Great value

by -

Barrel arrived in a timely fashion. Cosmetically looks great. I have had one range session and it runs perfectly with a good 330 to 430 ejection pattern. Just what I was looking for.

So far so good. As promised and expected.

Great Barrel

Very accurate and came without any blemishes or imperfections. Paired with a BA gas block, strike triple crown compensator and has shot perfect groupings at 100 yards. Wish I could shoot it at a further distance but so far happy with my purchase
