The Ballistic Advantage Premium Series .223 Wylde 16-inch Hanson Profile Barrel (brand part no. BABL223013PQ) is made for AR-15 platforms and chambered in .223 Wylde, a hybrid chamber that safely fires both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington while holding tighter tolerances. It features a midlength gas system paired with a Hanson profile gas block seat, a stepped-down cut that clears low-profile gas blocks used with pinned or welded muzzle devices. The barrel is machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and finished in a durable black QPQ coating. For AR-15 builders who want a Wylde-chambered barrel matched to a low-profile gas block setup, this AR15 barrel is built for that configuration.
