Ballistic Advantage
The Hanson taper shifts weight rearward and ships with a matched gas block you can pin, keeping the barrel rigid under bipod load.
The Ballistic Advantage Hanson Performance Series barrel features a proprietary tapered profile designed to shift weight rearward for improved balance and handling characteristics. This unique contour removes unnecessary material from the muzzle end while maintaining rigidity where it matters most, resulting in a barrel that feels lighter than its actual weight and delivers faster follow-up shots through reduced muzzle rise.
Machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and finished with QPQ nitride treatment, the Hanson barrel offers excellent corrosion resistance and surface hardness. The Performance Series includes a nickel-boron coated extended M4 feed ramp extension for enhanced reliability and easier cleaning. Each barrel ships with a matched low-profile gas block that can be pinned in place, making it an ideal choice for builders pursuing pin-and-weld compliance on 13.9" builds.
All Ballistic Advantage barrels are guaranteed sub-MOA with match ammunition, and user reports confirm consistent 1.5-1.7 MOA accuracy with standard loads. The Hanson profile has proven particularly popular for lightweight Recce-style builds, where the balanced feel and reliable accuracy make it a standout in its price range. Shooters consistently praise these barrels for handling thousands of rounds without degradation.
