Ballistic Advantage 16″ Modern Series 5.56 NATO AR-15 Barrel

Reliable performance, modern construction, mission-ready.

The Ballistic Advantage 16″ Modern Series Barrel is a proven upgrade for AR-15 builders seeking dependable performance with modern enhancements. Machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and treated with a QPQ corrosion-resistant nitride finish, this barrel is designed to handle heat, friction, and harsh use with minimal wear.

The mid-length gas system provides smoother recoil and increased reliability, while the government profile offers a balance between strength and maneuverability. A 1:7 twist rate ensures compatibility with a wide range of 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem loads, especially heavier-grain bullets. The M4 feed ramps are QPQ-coated for enhanced feeding reliability and long-term durability.
