Ballistic Advantage 16" 9mm AR-15 Barrel, Modern Series
This 9mm Modern Series barrel from Ballistic Advantage is machined from 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel with a QPQ corrosion-resistant finish and 1/2-28 x .400 full profile threads. It is designed to work with both Colt/Rock River and Glock style AR builds, and it is compatible with standard mil-spec uppers as well as many dedicated 9mm uppers.
9mm on the AR-15 platform operates by blowback, so no gas block or gas tube is needed. The barrel has an integrated feed ramp and barrel extension. Because the extension is part of the barrel, the stated length is the true overall length: for example, an 11" 9mm barrel has the same outer dimensions as a 10.5" 5.56 barrel. It is threaded 1/2x28 instead of 1/2x36 for greater versatility when choosing a suppressor.
