Ballistic Advantage Teaser – Complete Uppers Soon?

By on October 20, 2016 in Guns

Ballistic Advantage just dropped a teaser image on their Facebook page (image below). It shows an AR-15 upper receiver with Ballistic Advantage branding and it includes a bolt carrier group and charging handle. Hopefully, this means they are getting back into the complete upper receive market… maybe even complete rifles.

Ballistic Advantage certainly has the production capability to offer complete uppers and firearms. In the not too distant past, they did offer complete uppers. I own two of them and they are excellent. Now, with the manufacturing backing of Aero Precision and their child brands like VG6 Precision behind them, they should be well positioned to get back into the market.

Generally, when Ballistic Advantage releases a teaser image, we don’t have to wait long before the pay off. Stay tuned.

Ballistic Advantage Builder Series: Torque a Barrel Nut

By on September 17, 2016 in Guns

If you build enough AR-15 uppers, you will eventually come across one that just isn’t going to cooperate with the torque specs. Don’t sweat it. You aren’t going to hurt anything if you have to go beyond the torque spec (within reason). Clint Hanson shares some of his experience with getting those last few millimeters of travel on your barrel nut in Ballistic Advantage’s most recent Builder Series video.

Ballistic Advantage Rail Tease?

By on August 9, 2016 in Guns

Ballistic Advantage (BA) seems to be dropping some hints to see if anyone is paying attention. They frequently host rifle giveaways and their most recent one features a KeyMod rail with the BA logo engraved on it. Another photo also surfaced showing an SBR wearing a Dead Foot Arms MCS folding stock and a shorter version of the same rail (below).

It looks like there could be a Ballistic Advantage rail in the works.

Update: A sharp-eyed follower of JTT on Facbeook, Vincent C, pointed out that this appears to be a Vltor Freedom Rail with BA branding.

Modern Series Pencil Barrels – New from Ballistic Advantage

By on July 5, 2016 in Guns

Ballistic Advantage’s Modern Series is their budget friendly line of AR-15 barrels with full 4150 CMV steel construction, QPQ (nitride processing), and their 1 MOA guarantee. Typically, the barrel profiles in this series have been limited to help keep costs down but they have recently added a new pencil profile to the Modern Series lineup.

The 16″ lightweight pencil profile is now available with your choice of carbine or mid-length gas system. They are available at the introductory price of $150! These barrels are a good value at their normal price of around $170 but they are impulse-buyable at the introductory price. You can check them out at Ballistic Advantage’s Modern Series page.
