Ballistic Adv Performance Series AR-15 5.56x45mm NATO 13.7" BA Hanson Mid-Length Barrel - QPQ

The Ballistic Advantage Performance Series BA Hanson Mid-Length barrel is a drop-in upgrade for the AR-15 platform, chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. Machined from Chrome Moly Vanadium (CrMoV) steel and treated with a corrosion-resistant Black QPQ finish, this barrel features the signature BA Hanson Mid-Length profile Ballistic Advantage developed for AR-15 builds running a mid-length gas system.

At 13.70 inches, the barrel pairs naturally with a mid-length gas system and is set up for a low-profile gas block, giving AR-15 builders a versatile configuration well-suited to a wide variety of 5.56 NATO loads. A 1:7" twist rate stabilizes the full range of bullet weights from light projectiles up through heavier open-pattern match rounds. The barrel is threaded for a standard muzzle device and ships with no sights installed, leaving the shooter free to mount their preferred optic or iron sight configuration.

Like every Performance Series barrel from Ballistic Advantage, this 5.56 barrel includes a Nickel Boron coated extended M4 feed ramp for reliable feeding across ammunition types. Whether you are building a precision-oriented carbine, a defensive rifle, or simply replacing a worn factory barrel, the BA Hanson Mid-Length offers the durability and accuracy that AR-15 builders expect from Ballistic Advantage.
