Questions & Answers
What is the gas tube length on this barrel? carbine or mid-length? Expert Answer

The Ballistic Advantage Modern 5.56 Barrel (MPN:BABL556033M), uses a mid-length gas system and would require a mid-length gas tube. MPN:BABL557103M has a carbine-length gas system and would require a carbine-length gas tube.

Does this barrel come with barrel nut and/or armourers grease? What size crows foot does it require if it does come with barrel nut? Expert Answer

The Ballistic Advantage Modern 5.56 Barrel will not include a barrel nut or grease. It will use any standard AR15 barrel nut for installation.
