Ballistic Bbl 22Arc 18" Spr Rfl Pr B$251.75
Availability: In Stock
The Ballistic Advantage 22 ARC barrel is a 16-inch rifle-length upper receiver component engineered for shooters building or upgrading a Modern Sporting Rifle platform. Built from 416R stainless steel and finished with a QPQ corrosion-resistant treatment, this barrel delivers the durability and consistency you need whether you're zeroing a new build or extending the life of an existing rifle. The 22 ARC cartridge occupies a unique niche—ballistically efficient, relatively mild recoil, and increasingly practical for mid-range hunting and target work—and this mid-profile barrel strikes a balance between weight and stiffness for precision at distance without excess bulk.
The SPR (Special Purpose Rifle) profile keeps weight reasonable while maintaining the rigidity that matters for accuracy. The 1 in 7 twist rate is optimized for the 22 ARC's typical projectile weights, and the rifle-length gas system provides reliable cycling with common ammunition loads. The extended M4 feed ramp extension features a nickel boron coating—a premium touch that reduces friction and improves reliability in semi-automatic feeding. Threading is 1/2x28, the modern standard for quick-detachable suppressors and muzzle devices.
This is a no-nonsense component for serious builders who want quality stainless construction without paying for unnecessary features. Whether you're developing a lightweight precision rifle or a practical hunting platform, the materials and geometry here support consistent performance over thousands of rounds.
| Caliber | 22 ARC |
| Barrel Length | 16 inches |
| Profile | SPR (Special Purpose Rifle) |
| Material | 416R Stainless Steel |
| Finish | QPQ Corrosion Resistant |
| Twist Rate | 1:7 |
| Gas System | Rifle Length |
| Gas Block Journal Diameter | .750 inch |
| Muzzle Thread | 1/2x28 |

This is a direct-threaded upper component designed for Modern Sporting Rifle platforms with standard AR-pattern geometry. Confirm receiver and lower compatibility with your gunsmith or builder before assembly.
The 22 ARC is designed for efficient mid-range ballistics. Accuracy depends on ammunition quality, your upper receiver build, optics, and shooting technique. This barrel provides the stainless construction and geometry to support precision work, but real-world performance varies by shooter and load.
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 1/2x28, the standard for quick-detachable suppressors and muzzle devices. Verify that your suppressor is rated for 22 ARC and the muzzle velocity of your ammunition.
The gas block journal is .750 inches in diameter. Use a standard .750-inch AR-platform gas block; any major brand will fit.
