Ballistic Advantage Modern Series 16" 5.56 Government Profile Mid-Length Barrel
The Ballistic Advantage Modern Series 16" Government Barrel (BABL556010M) is one of the most popular choices for building a reliable, soft-shooting, and accurate "all-purpose" AR-15. Machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel, this barrel features a mid-length gas system, which provides a longer dwell time and lower port pressure compared to carbine-length systems. This results in a smoother recoil impulse, reduced wear on the bolt carrier group, and a more pleasant shooting experience during high-volume sessions.
As part of the Modern Series, this barrel is treated with a QPQ Corrosion Resistant finish (Melonite/Nitride) inside and out, creating a surface that is harder and more durable than traditional chrome lining without compromising accuracy. The Government profile provides a classic weight distribution that balances rigidity and handling. Like all Ballistic Advantage barrels, it features a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when used with match-grade ammunition and includes precision-machined M4 feed ramps for flawless reliability.
Note: Standard 1/2x28 muzzle threads. Designed for use with a .750" gas block.
