The Ballistic Advantage Premium Series BA Hanson Mid-Length Barrel (brand part no. BABL223008PQ) is a 14.5-inch, 223 Wylde-chambered barrel built for AR-15 platforms. The 223 Wylde chamber lets shooters run both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition safely while holding tighter accuracy than a standard 5.56 chamber. Finished in black QPQ for corrosion resistance and cut with the proprietary BA Hanson profile, it’s built around a mid-length gas system for smoother cycling and reduced felt recoil on a carbine-length upper. Stainless steel construction and a threaded muzzle round out a barrel built for shooters who want accuracy without giving up reliability.
