The Ballistic Advantage 6.5 Grendel 12.5-Inch Hanson Carbine Barrel (brand part no. BABL65G001P) is a Premium Series AR-15 barrel machined from 416R stainless steel, built for shooters upgrading a short-barrel 6.5 Grendel build without stepping down to a budget barrel. Ballistic Advantage chambers this barrel in the 6.5 Grendel Type II spec and finishes it with a bead-blasted surface, and the Hanson profile ships with a pinned low-profile gas block already installed, saving a separate purchase and fitting step. The 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavier, higher-BC 6.5 Grendel bullet weights favored for longer-range shooting. Among our AR barrels, this Hanson Carbine barrel suits builders putting together a compact, carbine-length 6.5 Grendel upper for hunting or precision range work.
