From the manufacturer

This Ballistic Advantage AR-15 barrel is offered with a length of 16 inches and is chambered in .223 Wylde. This barrel is machined from 416 stainless steel which can be electropolished and hold very tight tolerances compared to some alloys of stainless steel. This Ballistics Advantage barrel is equipped with a mid-length gas system that is well powered to cycle through the extraction and re-chambering of a round after firing, but which can still provide a softer recoil feel. For many builds, the mid-length gas system can provide softer recoil, depending on the components and your intentions. The 416 stainless barrel showcased here, has a nitride QPQ finish to help resist corrosion over long-term use. Features: QPQ black nitride coated stainless steel barrel Chambered in .223 Wylde Mid-length gas system Tactical Government Profile Nickel boron coated extended M4 feed ramp extensions .750 gas block journal sizing Can easily accommodate the OPS 12th gen collar and suppressor The Wylde is versatile and allows the user to switch back and forth a will between .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO rounds, with no dangerous overpressure concerns, and maintaining the accuracy values of the .223 Remington. This versatility and safety improvement is a preference for those who choose the Wylde chambering. This barrel features a low profile .750 gas block journal that is designed to be longer with a special step-cut, allowing for an OPS Inc 12th gen suppressor and collar. The Ballistics Advantage barrel is HP and MPI tested and weighs in at a reasonable 32 oz. It is HP and MPI tested and is guaranteed by the manufacturer to give a MOA accuracy of essentially, one inch or under from 100 yards.
