Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 12.5″ Premium Black Series Hanson Pistol Barrel
Unlock the true potential of your AR-15 platform with the Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 12.5″ Premium Black Series Hanson Pistol Barrel. Designed for superior performance in compact builds, this barrel delivers outstanding energy retention, reliable cycling, and exceptional versatility for suppressed or unsuppressed shooting.
Machined from precision-hardened 416R stainless steel and treated with a QPQ corrosion-resistant finish, the 12.5″ Hanson Profile barrel combines rugged durability with a sleek, wear-resistant black surface. The Hanson Profile removes the traditional shoulder cut to improve barrel harmonics, reduce felt recoil, and enhance overall maneuverability without compromising strength or accuracy.
Precision-Optimized for Suppressed Shooting
Featuring a 1:8 twist rate, the Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 12.5″ Premium Black Series Hanson Pistol Barrel is optimized to stabilize a broad range of .338 ARC bullet weights, from supersonic to subsonic projectiles. Its pistol-length gas system is tuned for consistent and efficient cycling, especially when running suppressed setups. Whether you’re hunting, performing tactical drills, or stretching out medium-range engagements, this barrel offers consistent accuracy and performance.
The threaded muzzle (5/8×24) is ready for your suppressor or muzzle device of choice, while the included Lo-Pro .875 gas block ensures secure gas system function with a slim and minimalist footprint.
