Ballistic advantage barrels

Any AR 15 users ever use or have experience with Ballistic Advantage Barrels what's your take on them, thanks
 
There are plenty of threads on BA barrels not having a proper shoulder on the muzzle threads.
They have more of a rounded radius at the base, or a full major thread diameter instead of an undercut square shoulder.
This has caused some suppressor mounts to misalign. I have personally observed two of these off enough that it
caused a minor nick in the front cap. A few years back, they had a specific warning against using their barrels
with some of the finest precision suppressor products ever made in Wyoming. I'm not seeing that warning now.
Now that Aero Precision owns BA, I'm hoping all new production has a proper muzzle thread.

(After cutting a proper shoulder on the muzzle threads, those barrels worked just fine.
In fact, one in 300 Blackout has given me several 1" 100 yard groups).
 
Bought a 300 BLK a few years ago that didn't shoot worth a darn. Sent it back and they replaced it with one that is as good as the other one was bad. Looks great inside with the borescope too. I'm a happy customer.
 
I bought a16” last year for a wicked price that shoots quite good. It’s nothing incredible but for a low-mid priced AR barrel I am happy and even impressed.

Like everything you get what you pay for but I would buy another at this point
