Build a compact, dependable AR-15 platform with the Ballistic Advantage BABL556026FD Performance Series BA Hanson Carbine-Length Barrel. Chambered for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, this 11.3-inch rifle barrel is designed for carbine-length gas systems and delivers a practical balance of maneuverability and performance for compatible AR-15 builds. Its 1:7 twist rate is suited for stabilizing a broad range of common 5.56/.223 projectile weights.
The barrel is precision machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and treated with a QPQ corrosion-resistant finish for added durability and protection during regular use. The proprietary BA Hanson profile helps reduce unnecessary weight while maintaining a robust configuration for demanding applications. A Nickel Boron-coated M4 feed ramp extension supports smooth cartridge feeding and reliable cycling when paired with properly matched components.
This Ballistic Advantage Performance Series barrel includes a pinned low-profile gas block designed for the .625-inch gas block seat, helping simplify installation and maintain a clean handguard-compatible configuration. The package is intended for AR-15 rifles using a carbine-length gas system and does not support aftermarket piston conversion kits. With no sights included, the barrel is ready to be configured with the optic and sighting system that best suits the completed build. Verify chambering, gas system length, gas block compatibility, and all firearm assembly requirements before installation.
