Ballistic Advantage Barrels are excellent and won't break the budget
I've been using BA's barrels for several builds, never have had an issue with them. Definitely recommend these. And this was the best price I've seen on them.

Good buy, for special use! Would recommend to anyone needing short and accurate!
USBA 10.3 Classic
Looks great and no issues with function. I haven’t accuracy checked but I see no reason why with the right loss it would not me a MOA barrel. It’s not that hard to get that with modern manufacturing. Only downside is it gives up about 100 - 125 fps over my Rosco nitride 11.5” with 77 gr hand loads. I prefer the phosphate/chrome over nitride and with sone work and break in I got my 77 TMKs running at about 2350 fps. I’M USING AN AA POSTON KIT AND WORKS 100% W SUPPRESSOR. Have not tried without. Dwell is so short I really get no gas back thry the upper. By the time ejection is happening the bullet is out of the barrel and gasses are pushing out the front. Profile is pretty typical for a .750 gas block. Long gas journal in case you want to use an a2 sight. No dimple but I plan on pinning anyhow.
United StatesA Bit Underwhelmed
Just got my parts from AR 15 Discounts. You guys are doing a great job. Never had a single issue with you guys on what you do. Very fast and accurate deliveries. My first product disappointment though. I only by chrome lined barrels for my builds. The chrome lining on this example of one is almost non existent. First barrel from BA. Maybe this is there standard, but it's the thinnest chrome lining I've ever seen. I had to put my glasses on and shine a light to see any. It almost looks like it's flaking at the rifling. Whoever put that picture up of the barrel in the photos should be ashamed of themselves. The very definition of false advertising. I will not be buying another unless someone can tell me this is a mistake. So, in the end, don't buy this barrel if you're getting it for the chrome. You'll be disappointed. On a lighter note, the Dirty Bird handguard is awesome and I do recommend it.
