Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 14.5″ Premium Black Series Hanson Pistol Barrel
Elevate the performance of your AR-15 platform with the Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 14.5″ Premium Black Series Hanson Pistol Barrel. Designed to strike the perfect balance between increased muzzle velocity and agile handling, this barrel is a superior choice for suppressed shooting, hunting, and precision-focused builds.
Precision-machined from hardened 416R stainless steel and treated with a corrosion-resistant QPQ finish, the 14.5″ Hanson Profile barrel offers rugged durability, enhanced surface protection, and a sleek black appearance. The Hanson Profile eliminates the traditional shoulder cut, improving barrel harmonics, promoting better weight distribution, and minimizing felt recoil for a more refined shooting experience.
Optimized for Suppressed Shooting and Versatility
With a 1:8 twist rate, the Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 14.5″ Premium Black Series Hanson Pistol Barrel is capable of stabilizing a broad range of .338 ARC projectile weights, from subsonic to supersonic loads. Its pistol-length gas system ensures smooth and reliable cycling, even when suppressed, offering exceptional performance across a variety of ammunition types.
The threaded muzzle (5/8×24) provides easy compatibility with suppressors and a wide range of muzzle devices. The included Lo-Pro .875 gas block delivers reliable gas system operation while maintaining a clean, low-profile build ideal for slim handguards and lightweight configurations.
