Availability: In Stock
The Ballistic Advantage .308 Win 16" Mid-Length Hanson Profile Barrel is a precision rifle barrel built for shooters who want accuracy and durability without unnecessary weight. Built from 416R stainless steel with a QPQ corrosion-resistant finish, this barrel handles the demands of both range training and field use. The Hanson profile strikes a balance between a full-profile barrel's stiffness and a pencil barrel's maneuverability—useful for hunters, competition shooters, and AR-10 builders who want a rifle that doesn't feel cumbersome but still delivers consistent shot placement.
This is a DPMS-pattern .308 barrel engineered to tight tolerances. Ballistic Advantage HP and MPI tests every Premium Series barrel, catching material defects before they reach you. The mid-length gas system is a practical choice for short-action 308 builds, tuning gas dwell to balance reliability and shot quality without over-gassing. The included pinned lo-pro gas block keeps setup straightforward—no separate block purchase needed.
A few things to know: Hanson barrels are not compatible with aftermarket piston kits, so they're designed to work within a traditional direct-impingement setup. The 1:10 twist rate handles the full range of common .308 hunting and match rounds. The muzzle is threaded 5/8x24, the standard for .308 suppressors and brakes. At 38.8 ounces, this barrel keeps overall rifle weight reasonable while maintaining the rigidity you need for sub-MOA groups at distance.
