I am Ballistic Advantage Dealer. I could not be happier with the quality of the products and the customer service.
sorry it was way too basic didnt show close up of the parts as a first time gun builder who worked on assembly lines of chrysler and deere . the attaching of a barrel and hand guard is the hardest part/ biggest mystery.

Just finished my build with my Ballistic Advantage barrel and love it. BCM low pro gas block fit and lined up great. Super accurate. Thanks guys
The Daily Shooter Great to hear! Thanks a lot!
This channel is severely underrated, from old videos to new, solid advice.
You don't need validation from me, but your barrels are the best. I have 2 AR's and although the barrels they came with were brand new and decent quality, I switched them both out for Ballistic Advantage barrels. I did this, because my friend let me shoot his AR with one of your barrels and it was very accurate. I am getting ready to purchase another rifle and I am saving up for the 16 inch Hanson, as I hear its an amazing barrel. Also, thank you for making these instructional videos, you always provide great information. Take Care!
No nonsense tips. Great stuff. Use the eyes God gave you.
Just purchased a 18in Hanson barrel with mid length gas system for my Palmetto State Armory rifle. The barrel that they use from the factory is not the best and is shooting roughly 1 and 1/2 in Moa. I'm excited to get the new Barrel in and installed. Thank you for giving me a quick Barrel install video so I can properly install it myself. I am one of those guys who hates to pay someone else for something that I can do. Thank you again for the install video. I am looking forward to sub MOA accuracy with match Grade ammo. I think my factory ammo is much better than match Grade ammo so I'm really excited to see how well it does. I will post a video once it is all installed and at the range. Thanks again for promising a quality Pearl.
Thanks Clint, I just received one of your barrels today and plan to install it tonight. Will use your method over the "tighten barrel nut 3x" method, after all if the guys who make the damn barrel don't do that why should I! First time build and there is a lot of conflicting info out in youtube land
I think that shit was started by someone with ocd and convinced everyone else to do it. Do you do that shit on your car? Lugnuts? Any other parts? Ive never seen it done anywhere else. People say its to spread the threads or some bullshit? You want them tight so it doesnt just come off.
Great Video brother! I just purchased the Premium Series 14.5" Hanson in 223 Wylde . I can't wait to install it and try it out. It's my first build and I've been watching videos but your video is the best one by far because you use the KISS method. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Excellent! Let us know how it turns out!
Lot of INFO in 6 minutes. Thanks guys, I just saved a lot of money.
I'm really glad Aero Precision picked you guys up. I bought their 16" M4 barrel and it's amazing. Next build is going to be a 16" Hanson. Not sure if I wanna do .223 wylde or 5.56..... so many choices :)
thank you for supporting basic mechanical knowledge and simple technique. If you have no business holding a screwdriver, by all means read "50 tips to build it" but man, this aint hard
Just got my BA Hanson 14.5 with fail zero barrel extension. The thing is an absolute beast.
Thank you for explaining barrel installation doesn't require $1000 worth of tools and a torque wrench that reads to the thousandth of a lb-ft. Now I'm off to install my Ballistic Advantage 300 Blackout barrel....
8 years later to the party but I'm in the middle of a 6.5 Grendel build and going to use a 20" BA Precision barrel. Can't wait!
Great vid alot of ppl are going to be butt hurt now
Just ordered my first BA barrel for my first build. Pretty excited.
Great video buddy. Nice and simple instructions. Just installed my Ballistics Advantage Barrel to this video. You guys have excellent products and I'm ordering a new barrel in .300blk for my next project.
Thank for the vid, and good to see you guys on YT! I just ordered a 14.5 from you, and will be installing it as soon as I get the ALG EMR rail.
Dan Burgess Awesome! We have a lot more content in the works so let us know what you would like to see from us.
Can't wait to get back from deployment and install my 5.45 barrel!!!!
Excellent, easy to follow directions.
Dude I was twerking on my barrel until I turned captions on lol. Thanks for the nice barrel and vid.
You guys make nice stuff. My 300 blackout pistol with your premium barrel is a work of art. But I did install it with a torque wrench and milspec grease. You guys are scaring us!
Well I'll be damn.
Just watched a Shetland Brock Lesnar install a barrel.
Sounds like a Brillo pad on the microphone. LOL
Thanks for the video guys.
Bravo-Zulu!! Great Video I really like the KISS principle that you use.
Thanks Clint
Great video I knew it couldn't be that hard to install a barrel
Solid content.
Best video I've ever seen
What Holds the upper receiver into the vice ? What tool do you like? Magpul BeV Block ? Thank you so much for the video series. I just bought a 17.7 3 gunner barrel and I can't wait to install it
Thank you for the excellent products and fair pricing.
Thanks guys. This was extremely informative!
Love your no frill get it done.
Dude awesome shirt! I want one! btw bought one of ur 12.5" barrels for my suppressed sbr!
Very informative video, thank you for the tips!
Easy peasy, perfect amount of sarcasm and dickhead. Lol. Thank you. +1 for the haircut
Great video. My only question is what kind of oil should I use for the barrel nut threads? I seen other people using anti seize stuff. But then others have used oil. It looks like hops that you were using
Run 4 BA barrels 1 - 20" 223 wylde, 1 10.5" 556, 1 18" Hanson 308 & 1 22" 6.5 Creedmoor and I LOVE them all.
I only use BA barrels great product
I have that primative tool.. but all other videos recommend a real torque wrench with lb ft' settings. I hate to spend extra when I don't need to
I’m a Veteran out of Army 30+ years and in all my builds I’m always reluctant to do my barrels because of the dangers in not doing it right,what’s your feeling in diy doing their own barrels because of the dangers,should they or not?
Augustine Sullivan --Easy, just follow his lead,one thing he didn’t address is the barrel pin to receiver slot fit.
If there is any side to side clearance that should be remedied first.
Call a Brownell’s Tech guy and ask how to make sure it’s centered.
There also a type of Loctite type product that should
/can be used to make sure of a perfect diameter barrel to align fitment.
Watched like 5 videos with everyone in the comments bitching about torque techniques and all that. Here's a dude from BA itself like fuck all that muscle it to where it works and don't over or under due it.
👏🏼 interesting!!!
Confused for the 1st time ever about the crush washer. Beveled or ‘cupped’ side goes towards the muzzle device, flat side towards the barrel is what I’ve always heard and seen, including BA barrels on Aero assembled uppers I’ve bought. Brownells and Midway also say bevel towards the muzzle device? Was that a mis-statement or...? I couldn’t quite tell which way it was facing on the vid.
Damn good barrels
So I just got my barrel in and had the reciever lapped. Excited to try it out tomorrow if it doesn't rain. Kinda worried because Johnnys Reloading bench just did a series on your ar10 barrel in 308 18" and it was NOT good. Might want to hit him up and talk about a replacement...
Badass
I just purchased a 16” BA Hanson .625 to go with my Aero Precision builders set, but I have several install questions. First what kind of grease or lube should I use for the barrel to the reciever and the barrel nut to the reciever. It so confusing, because all of the different opinions. Second do you measure headspace with Failzero bcg, or should I buy a set and double check? What lube is recommended on the muzzle device and buffer tube / castle nut?
You put the oil on the extension and the threads, what would you recommend as the best for each application? Or do you just recommend regular Hoppe's?
Newb question. I'm building a 300blk sbr and will want to shoot sub and super out of it. Should I get an adjustable gas block? I planned on just getting the lo pro that you all suggest on your site and using a standard carbine buffer. Didn't know what you all recommended when using sub and super loads.
What about bedding the barrel?
What about headspace?
Awesome info son of Hans.
What vise block are you using to support the upper receiver?
My gas block coil pin took me around 173 taps. Maybe I need a bigger hammer.
Can anyone who has done this comment:
I'll be installing a 7" free floating handguard (specifically Aero Precision Atlas R-One) onto a BA 11.5" barrel with FSB.
In order to do that, do I have to remove the pinned FSB, mount the barrel, then the handguard, and finally the gas tube and FSB last?
What armorer's wrench do you use?
I like how heavy duty it is
That is a USMC armorers wrench. We also really like the Magpul armorers wrench.
does the magpul work with ar10?
maybe the Hanson barrel is named after him
Could over torquing your barrel effect accuracy?
I don't recall where I saw it, but somewhere on the interwebs a fellow tested his AR with different barrel nut torques. He went from 30 to 80 ft/lbs and had his best accuracy at 50 ft/lbs. Something like that.
Of course, every rifle might be different. I would think it depends on how the parts and pieces mesh.
@2:35 .....that’s what she said.
What does this guy know? It's not like he manufacturers barrels or anything. I'd rather listen to an 18 year old millennial with no experience tell me how to build a rifle. 👍
Millennials are in their late 20's to 40. If you're going to talk shit about a generation at least get the age right, so you don't sound like the dumbass. 🤦♂️
sorry this video was no help at all i have a 10 inch pencil barrel and a PSA barrel nut kit it came with 4 peices an acordian washer a c clip a collar and the actual threaded nut. i have no idea where thse other pieces are supposed t go i understand how to tighten down a nut with threads i also have no idea what my hand guard attaches to. it is a run of the mill hand guard with rails why are there no videos on this??? joe biden says its supposed to be so easy to build a gun from parts alos i have an AR tool with the barrel nut grooves
Cant see anything you are talking about
Yikes looks complicated I will have someone install the barrel
german torque!
dnasplice gutundtite!
