Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 16″ Premium Black Series Hanson Pistol Barrel
Maximize the capabilities of your AR-15 platform with the Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 16″ Premium Black Series Hanson Pistol Barrel. Engineered for superior velocity, extended-range accuracy, and dependable performance, this barrel is a top choice for hunting, tactical applications, and precision shooting with the .338 ARC cartridge.
Crafted from premium 416R stainless steel and finished with a QPQ corrosion-resistant treatment, the 16″ Hanson Profile barrel offers exceptional durability, wear resistance, and a sleek black appearance. The Hanson Profile eliminates the standard barrel shoulder, improving barrel harmonics, reducing felt recoil, and enhancing handling balance without sacrificing rigidity or accuracy.
Built for Long-Range Precision and Suppressor Use
With a 1:8 twist rate, the Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 16″ Premium Black Series Hanson Pistol Barrel expertly stabilizes both subsonic and supersonic .338 ARC projectiles, delivering consistent performance across various loadings. The pistol-length gas system is tuned for reliable cycling and optimized dwell time, particularly beneficial when running suppressed.
The threaded muzzle (5/8×24) supports easy installation of suppressors and muzzle devices. An included Lo-Pro .875 gas block ensures efficient gas flow while maintaining a slim, low-profile setup ideal for streamlined builds and lightweight handguards.
