The Ballistic Advantage BALLISTIC BBL 5.56 16" HANSON W/LPGB is a Performance Series rifle barrel designed for reliable, accurate AR-15 builds with a 16" 5.56x45mm NATO profile and a 1:7 twist to handle a broad range of ammunition. Built with Hanson mid-length geometry and a low-profile gas block (.625"), this black finished barrel features a QPQ corrosion resistant treatment that enhances durability in demanding conditions and long-term use. The combination of a 16" length and mid-length gas system offers a smoother, more controllable recoil impulse ideal for repeatable precision across hunting, sport shooting, and duty-style applications, while the 1:7 twist stabilizes heavier projectiles for extended range performance. As a genuine Ballistic Advantage component, it integrates seamlessly with standard AR-15 receivers and components, delivering consistent chamber alignment, improved bore life, and dependable gas-system timing. This barrel is purpose-built for rifle builds where performance, reliability, and longevity matter, providing a solid foundation for accurate field work, and versatile, long-term use in varied outdoor environments and shooting disciplines.
