Build history on GunPartPicker
Builders on GunPartPicker first added the Ballistic Advantage DRP Modern Series 5.56 AR Barrel Black 8.0 in to a build in April 2026.
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, but today only Classic Firearms has it in stock. It dipped to $76.76 at BattleHawk Armory for a stretch in August 2026, well under its usual $92.99 to $123.50, so sales do come around. Buying today, the lowest price is $114 at Classic Firearms, above August's low of $76.76, so a better deal may come back.
