The Ballistic Advantage 16″ Cold Hammer Forged Hanson barrel combines a chrome-lined bore, mid-length gas system, and proprietary Hanson contour for a durable general-purpose AR-15 setup. Its 1:7 twist and 5.56 NATO chamber handle common .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO ammunition, while the included pinned low-profile gas block removes one compatibility and alignment step from the build.
Note: Ballistic Advantage states that Hanson Series barrels are not designed for use with aftermarket piston kits.
