Ballistic Advantage 8.3″ 9MM AR 15 Barrel, Modern Series

Blowback simplicity, precision-ready performance.

The Ballistic Advantage 8.3″ 9mm Modern Series Barrel is built for AR pistol and PCC platforms that prioritize reliability and compact performance. Machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and treated with a QPQ corrosion-resistant nitride finish, this barrel provides long-lasting durability and clean, consistent performance.

With a 1:10 twist rate, integrated feed ramp, and full-profile 1/2×28 x .400 threads, it’s compatible with a wide range of muzzle devices and suppressors (verify 9mm clearance before installation). Designed for blowback operation, this barrel does not require a gas block or gas tube, simplifying your build.

Compatible with both Colt/Rock River and Glock magazine-fed AR-9 lowers, this barrel drops into mil-spec upper receivers and dedicated 9mm uppers alike.
