The Ballistic Advantage Premium Series 6.5 Creedmoor Barrel (brand part no. BABL65CR18PQ) is an 18-inch AR-10 pattern barrel chambered for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. Machined from 416R stainless steel and finished in QPQ for corrosion resistance, this DPMS-style barrel is proof fired and MPI tested before it ships. Ballistic Advantage builds it with a Hanson profile and a midlength gas system paired to a 0.875-inch low-profile gas block, giving 6.5 Creedmoor shooters accuracy comparable to a dedicated bolt gun with the semi-auto speed of an AR-10. At 18 inches, this barrel gives a bit more velocity and reach than the 16-inch version. Built by Ballistic Advantage, it is a proven way to maximize an existing .308 platform’s accuracy.
