I've Had My Eye On This Barrel
I've had my eye on this barrel for a while now. I saw that AR-15 Discounts had it on sale for $119.99. That is a crazy good deal. All the reviews look great, however on Reddit there seems to be mixed opinions on ballistic advantage. I took a chance and ordered this barrel. AR-15 Discounts not only had the best price but from the day I purchased it to my front door was 3 days. I ordered some stuff from Palmetto on the same day and it still hasn't even shipped yet. The fit and finish on this Barrel look amazing. It's got some weight to it which I guess I didn't expect but that's good for accuracy. After inspection the barrel looks absolutely flawless. I can't wait to include it in my new build. I'm pairing it with a Zev receiver set with a SOLGW handguard. I'm going to give it a good cleaning and oiling. I also purchased a new Centurian Model H SS. I am more excited to build out and shoot the Ballistic Advantage. I will update my review after my first 100 shots.


Very accurate
The only thing I did after mounting this barrel on an upper was give it a good scrubbing. With ****** reloads (my reloads) I was getting 2" groups at 100 yards. Just think what it can do with a good break in procedure and my best reloads. MOA, here I come. This is barrel 4 from BA for me.
