Most Helpful Positive Review Ballistic Advantage is coming on hot
I was in search of a BCG for my AR pistol build, and Ballistic Advantage came highly recommended by users and publications alike. Operates smooth, looks killer, cleans easily, and I'll definitely pick this up the next time I need a BCG
Most Helpful Negative Review Ballistic Carrier Group
Haven’t had a chance to try it out it appears to be made good quality manufacturing. I will update my review once I’ve had a chance to try it out. As far as packaging is concerned I give it a -5 stars, since it was placed in a plastic envelope with minimal packaging. Also packaged appears to have be...

Ballistic Advantage BCG

by Bakemono, Verified Owner from HI, United States Written on April 7, 2024
I recently finished building my new rifle, wanted to try a different BCG and got this one. Took it to the range and worked really good! Cycles and extracts how how it’s supposed to and couldn’t see or feel any problems when firing. Felt really smooth.

This product fits for any 5.56 upper and feels great when you pull it through with the charging handle. Haven’t cycled yet at the range but hopefully it preforms good!

Purchase more than a few times...

by TheAnalyst, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on January 31, 2024
I've bought a few of these here and on BA's website directly when they have a year-end clearance sale for under $100. I have mostly Aero Precision Uppers with BA Barrels as a primary choice. This BCG is and has always been reliable for our useage. Keep it well lubed and it shouldn't have any issues. When Optics Planet has them available and a discount code wotks, i will continue buying these as spare parts, even though they have never failed. Solid material and precise machining, overall great quality for an average price BCG. I've used this on multiple calibers as well, 223/5.56 and 300AAC, no light primer stiled, no FTE and no FTF. Very reliable and a good choice for even a builder.
Pros:
  • Quality
  • reliable
  • Machining
  • Multiple Caliber Use
  • Phosphate
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Multiple Caliber Use
  • AR Platform Only
Would recommend: Yes

by Mr FDS, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on September 24, 2023
properly staked. what more can you ask for?
Ballistic advantage didn’t disappoint. I of coarse installed this in my new ar15 build. Iv got about 100 or so rounds on it currently. Worked flawlessly. If I could change anything I’d change nothing at all. I definitely recommend this for anyone’s build.
Pros:
  • well built
Cons:
  • None

BCG Ballistic Advantage

by Daniel, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on March 17, 2022
These things rock and they're extremely affordable. I have 4 of them now. 1 for each of my Ballistic Advantage barrels. I wish the coating was a little more slick but for the price its still a win. I don't know what else they want me to say about them. Get it, lube it, drop it in and shoot away.
Pros:
  • Price
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Solid BCG, would buy again

by Joe Citizen, from CT, United States Written on July 30, 2020
Ballistic Advantage makes great stuff and this BCG is no exception. All the specs are what I was looking for in a mil spec piece. I have others with fancier finishes, but I always seem to come back to the phosphate finish..... simple and it works. Gas rings fit super tight when I received it, but after a cleaning, oiling, and a magazine or two through the rifle they feel better. I have a hard time justifying spending 200+ on a "premium" BCG when quality products such as this are out there. I don't have a ton of rounds on this BCG yet but I have several other BA products and have yet to experience any issues. Buy with confidence, spend the extra cash on ammo.
