Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 16″ Premium Black Series SPR Carbine Barrel
Designed for superior accuracy and extended-range performance, the Ballistic Advantage 338 ARC 16″ Premium Black Series SPR Carbine Barrel delivers the perfect balance of precision, durability, and reliability. Built for marksmen, hunters, and long-range shooters, this barrel maximizes the .338 ARC’s potential with a smooth and consistent shooting experience.
Constructed from hardened 416R stainless steel and finished with a QPQ coating, this barrel is highly resistant to wear and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Optimized for Performance & Suppressor Use
With a 1:8 twist rate, this barrel is tuned to stabilize .338 ARC projectiles, enhancing accuracy across a range of bullet weights. The carbine-length gas system is optimized for smooth cycling, reducing recoil impulse and ensuring consistent operation with both suppressed and unsuppressed setups.
The threaded muzzle (5/8×24) allows for seamless suppressor or muzzle device attachment, while the included low-profile gas block ensures secure and efficient gas system operation. Whether you’re engaging targets at long range or setting up a precision hunting rifle, this barrel delivers exceptional performance.
