Ballistic Advantage 16" 6mm ARC SPR Profile Midlength AR-15 Barrel, Premium Black Series Review

About Ballistic Advantage 16" 6mm ARC SPR Profile Midlength AR-15 Barrel, Premium Black Series

This 6mm ARC barrel is another in the Premium Black Series from Ballistic Advantage, a higher end line of products that are still priced reasonably and that provide great value for the cost.  This barrel is for an AR-15 build that uses a 6mm ARC round.  The ARC is an advanced rifle cartridge and is a newer round having been developed in 2020.  The 6mm has a caliber of .243, so it is slightly bigger than the tried and true .223 Remington round; grain weights are larger, and the circumference of the cartridge is also larger to accommodate powder increases. This is a round meant to have high accuracy while still maintaining a soft recoil which is a great feature for any user that needs a precise, accurate round for any tactical or hunting purpose.  This barrel is made from 416r stainless steel and then coated with a QPQ nitride finish to increase longevity by increasing resistance to corrosion.  This is a good choice as it provides the benefits of a stainless-steel barrel as well as the benefits that accompany this style of coating. Features: 16″ 6mm ARC 1:7 twist rate 5/8×24 muzzle thread pitch Nickel boron coated extended M4 ramp feed extensions QPQ corrosion resistant finish This Ballistic Advantage 6mm ARC barrel is also subject to the brand’s guarantee to fire sub-MOA accuracy, at 100 yards. This shows the potential purchaser that the company is proud to stand behind the products they produce. This cartridge has excellent accuracy; this barrel’s accuracy is also top notch. The barrel is also in an SPR profile, this is a Ballistics Advantage classification that is like a DMR style barrel. This barrel also has the extended M4 feed ramps that are coated in Nickel Boron, a feature specific to this Premium Black Series of Ballistic Advantage rifle barrels. A great value for the money, with great finish quality and premium bore characteristics, this is a nice barrel for premium builds, but won’t price you out of a more standard build.  Ballistic Advantage as a company makes all their products in the United States from domestically sourced materials and workforce.
