Ballistic Advantage

Overview

The Ballistic Advantage Hanson Mid Length Barrel is a 14.5-inch barrel designed for the 5.56 NATO caliber, featuring a mid-length gas system that enhances reliability and reduces recoil. Its Hanson profile strikes a balance between weight savings and rigidity, making it ideal for dynamic shooting applications. The 1:7 twist rate allows for better stabilization of a wide range of bullet weights, while the chrome-lined interior provides improved durability and ease of cleaning. This barrel is commonly used in builds focused on versatility and performance, suitable for everything from competitive shooting to tactical applications.
