Ballistic Advantage BABL556004F Performance Series BA Hanson Carbine Length 5.56x45mm NATO Fits AR-15 10.30" Threaded Black QPQ Chrome Moly Vanadium

The Ballistic Advantage BABL556004F Performance Series BA Hanson barrel is designed for AR-15 pistol and short-barreled rifle builds chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO. Its 10.3-inch barrel length and carbine-length gas system provide a compact configuration for compatible platforms, while the proprietary Hanson profile helps reduce unnecessary weight without sacrificing practical durability. This barrel is supplied with a pinned low-profile gas block for streamlined installation with compatible handguards and upper receivers.
Machined from 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel, the barrel features a QPQ corrosion-resistant finish for enhanced surface protection and long-term serviceability. The Nickel Boron-coated M4 feed ramp extension supports smooth cartridge feeding and complements the barrel’s performance-focused construction. A 1:7 twist rate is suited to stabilizing a broad range of .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO projectiles, making this barrel a versatile choice for properly configured AR-15 builds.
The gas block seat is designed for .750-inch low-profile gas blocks, and the included pinned gas block helps maintain a secure, consistent fit. The BA Hanson barrel is not designed for use with aftermarket piston kits. This component is intended for qualified firearm assemblies, and all applicable federal, state, and local laws must be followed. All NFA and ATF rules apply. Use with a lower receiver that is a registered short-barreled rifle, machine gun, or pistol configuration as legally permitted. Possession of this barrel with a non-NFA lower receiver may be prohibited unless installed on a compliant pistol configuration. Verify compatibility and legal requirements before installation.
