Jake S.'s Review of Ballistic Advantage Performance Series 5.56 AR Rifle Barrels

This barrel is phenomenal. I purchased the 8.3 BA Hanson in .300 BLK and am exceptionally happy. Despite what the description says for that product the barrel is QPQ finished. A low-profile, pinned gas block was included. I had to buy the gas tube and roll pin separately, but the performance you will get at this price point cannot be beat. For years I exclusively bought Rainier Arms Ultramatch barrels (these are Shilen blanks that Rainier Arms cuts to their desired profile) until I bought a BA barrel due to budget restrictions. I will never go back. The 10.5" barrel I bought then performed as well as my other Rainier Arms barrels at literally half the cost. This is the main reason I bought a BA Hanson barrel this time. This barrel when using Barnes VOR-TX ammunition produces groups that you just have to see to believe. I also have it installed on a registered SBR in PDW configuration with the BCM Polished Nickel Trigger which is essentially just a refined Mil-Spec trigger, so it isn't like I'm talking about the results I got from my tricked out competition rifle with the Geissele SSA-E. Seriously, you should buy this barrel. Or don't so that it will be in-stock when I have the money to buy another one.
