They’re good to go. Very nice barrels for the price. I’m waiting on their 6.5 to come back in stock to swap out my psa 20” 308
OP
I’ve never owned a Ballistic Advantage barrel, but have heard a lot about them on the forum. I’m hoping to find a good Black Friday deal.
I have yet to have a negative experience or notice poor quality with BA/Aero products. Waiting for BF is a great bet, plenty of deals to be had on Aero/BA stuff.
No experience with BA's .308 barrels, just 5.56 and 300BLK, love them.

I have 3
One is a 10.3 1:8 <—-never had a issue
One is a 10.5 <—-no issues
now my ar 10 barrel was messed up
I got the last of the run and the lead was messed up and had rifeling into it and was causing failure to fire and eject had to hit the charging handle to eject the round...took it to my smith who sent it back and BA made it right

I have a bunch of Aero uppers and lowers, and I’ve been extremely happy with their quality. I’d expect their barrels to be top quality too.
OP
Arm or Ally has 6.5 barrels in stock right now. How accurate is the 20” PSA barrel? I’ve been looking at their uppers.

Haven’t shot this one yet but I’ve had very good luck with psa barrels. My friend has a 6.5 grendel psa 20” barrel and it shot half inch with factory ammo. If you shoot quality ammo, I’d expect an inch, MAX. Out of a psa barrel. Handloads, a lot smaller groups
OP
Ok, y’all have talked me into it! I’m collecting parts for a new upper, and any advice will be appreciated. I’ve been building AR15’s for years, but the 308 versions are new to me. My rifle is a DelTon 16” carbine that I bought from another member. It’s pretty accurate, but I can’t leave anything alone. I’ve got an SLR adjustable gas block, and have an AR Stoner linear brake ordered.

I have two of their Hanson stainless barrels...a 10.3 and a 14.5, both .223 Wylde.
Couldn’t be happier.

I’m leaning towards the modern series government profile because I prefer nitride barrels. The stainless premium series barrel is only a bit more expensive, but both offer a sub moa guarantee. What’s the difference between the modern and premium series?
OP
Ordered the Ballistic Advantage government series nitride barrel a few minutes ago. Figured it was a good compromise between hunting and bench shooting. This is my first BA barrel
