The Ballistic Advantage Premium 16-Inch .223 Wylde Mid-Length Barrel (brand part no. BABL223016P) is chambered in .223 Wylde, letting you run both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington through a mid-length gas system AR15. It is machined from 416 stainless steel and finished with a bead-blasted surface, and it carries a Nickel Boron coated extended M4 feed ramp extension for smoother, more reliable feeding. Cut to a Mk12 Mod H profile, it uses a longer .750-inch gas block journal, the dimension needed for a proper fit with an OPS Inc 12th model collar and suppressor mount. As part of Ballistic Advantage’s Premium Series, it is built for shooters who want accuracy without moving to a full custom barrel.
