Reviews & Ratings for Ballistic Advantage Performance Series .300 Blackout for AR-15 Rifle Barrels — 7 reviews — Page 1

I bought this barrel for a duty grade 300 blackout build. I had previously purchased the BA 8.3" stainless steel premium series version and wanted something that would last longer so I decided to go with the performance series in 10.3". It cycles supers and subs perfectly just like my 8.3" BA barrel. I use it with a non-adjustable gas block and with the BCM standard mil-spec buffer kit. I am using a non-LBP suppressor when shooting and it has cycles 110gr - 220gr ammo with no issues. It can cycle supers unsuppressed but if you do intend on using this for supers only with no suppressor then you may want to consider a heavier buffer weight. Otherwise it works great suppressed with a standard 3oz buffer weight. I don't shoot subs without a suppressor so I can't comment on how it shoots them unsuppressed - I think it is wasteful if you don't use a suppressor with subs anyway. It is very accurate as I was shooting sub MOA groups at 25yrds with just a red dot. Overall, it's a high quality barrel with a gas block that can be pinned and is prefect for what I need it for. This barrel now resides in my duty grade build, by my bedside for home defense and QCB. I highly recommend it.

Had a few problems, getting the barrel in stock but was ordered and came before the expected shipping date. Also very easy to install.

Very nice, lightweight and comes with a gas block. I didn't need mine since I bought an adjustable but still great quality and looks good. Glad it was in stock. Tough finding a good length from a good manufacturer. Perfect for my .300 build.

Feed ramps are trash. I thought it was from the new 110 gr Vmax, but I couldn’t get anything to cycle through. Comparing the Palmetto state barrel I was replacing, the new feed ramps looked wrong. Like for a 5.56. The feed ramps on my psa barrel were wide open, and ran without issues I might add. Wish I would have spent the extra cash on the VSeven.

Ballistic Advantage makes some of the best barrels at an awesome price point. I've used these on multiple builds! These barrels ate right up there with other top tier brands, but available for much less. Add the fact that on most a gas block is included, you are really winning! You won't be disappointed.
