BALLISTIC ADVANTAGE Performance Series Barrel 5.56 NATO 16" Hanson
Ballistic Advantage Hanson Mid w/ lo pro Performance Series 5.56 AR Barrel, Black, 16 in, BABL556013F
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.
Ballistic Advantage backs the line with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when using match ammunition. The Hanson profile is popular for lightweight Recce-style builds because the balanced feel and included gas block make the barrel easy to plan around without turning the front end into a heavy SPR setup.
