The Ballistic Advantage Premium Series .223 Wylde 20-inch DMR Barrel (brand part no. BABL223022PQ) is machined from 416R stainless steel and chambered in .223 Wylde, a hybrid chamber that shoots both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO safely while holding tighter match-grade tolerances. Ballistic Advantage finishes the barrel with a black QPQ corrosion-resistant treatment and adds a Nickel Boron coated, extended M4 feed ramp for smoother feeding. Built in a DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) profile with a rifle-length gas system, it is sized for a full-power 20-inch AR-15 build focused on long-range accuracy. For AR-15 builders assembling a precision rifle-length upper, this AR15 barrel pairs accuracy with a durable finish.
