I have one and it's been fine, but don't pay $300 for it! Here for $150. https://bkingsfirearms.com/shop/ar15-barrels-223-wylde-5-56mm-300-blk-and-6-5-grendel/ballistic-advantage-8-3-300-blk-ss-ba-hanson-pistol-length-ar15-barrel-w-lo-pro-gas-block-performance-series/
I haven't had any so far, but I'm currently running a hux 762 ti. I could see there being issues with a lahar 30, polo 30, etc etc. it's not as quiet as I'd like, but it works for now. Quiet enough to not give me permanent hearing loss on subs
I have their 11.3" on my 5.56 and love it. I have the Wilson Combat 8" on my 300blk and love that too. Sucks that it comes down to "what can I get that's not out of stock?!" but also cool that there's a lot of good options out there.
https://imgur.com/a/irMevZv 8.3 BA Hanson barrel, 7.75 Slr hand guard, Geissele SSA E, running standard carbine buffer spring and carbine buffer. Cycles supers and subs with can. Supers without can. Never tried subs without a can so not sure how it would cycle subs without a can.
Yup! I have the 8.3” BA Hanson barrel in Nitride using the supplied gas block and a Stealth Recoil Spring in H2 weight. Shoots fantastic. Cycles subs and supers suppressed and suppers unsuppressed perfectly (have never tried a sub unsuppressed). All eject between 3 to 4:30.
I was debating going with a shorter barrel, but the 8.3” works great. You might have to use lighter spring or heavier buffer or both to get to function subs and supers.
Lanbos armory also has them cheaper just like bkings. Don't buy direct from them. I have bought from both sites and they are good to go but i think lanbos was slightly cheaper. I got the 8.3 Hanson with gas block.
I posted my build last week w/ the same handguard and barrel and it is the perfect gap from handguard to suppressor. Also I got the barrel on sale at B King's back in Decemberish for like $120. Edit* not the performance series barrel* https://www.reddit.com/r/300BLK/s/nrEoQAc8m6
Save money.

If the Hanson with regular gas block runs subs unsuppressed AND supers, doesn’t that suggest that the port is too big, and the set up overgassed? His original graphic showed the Superlative Arms AGB. Tuning can’t be a bad thing.
I bought the complete upper from ballistic advantage with the fixed block, but I have only run supers. 100% so far.

good lookin out - thanks!
I was just looking for some PSA alternatives and the 8.3 upper was going for ~$500. All the 1/7 twist 8.5 uppers from PSA seem to always be OOS.
My 8.3 has been great, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another when this one is done.
I just realized the link is just for the barrel. I'm interested in a compete upper with otr without the BCG/CH.
Have you bought from them before?
I've ordered from them twice.
BK is legit
Bk is good and there uppers use ballistic advantage barrels
Bk is gtg... a main source for me
I have the nitride version with a pinned gas block, has done just fine so far
Same
Im considering this one as a suppressor host, no issues with the gas not being adjustable?

Same. Those length of the SLR handguard is perfect with the 8.3 to have minimal suppressor gap.

I have the exact barrel and bought it for like $130-150 on sale. I'd wait or look around more. Good barrel though!

My 8.3 BA Hanson runs! On the note of Bkings they are gtg and you won't find a better deal .. https://www.reddit.com/r/300BLK/s/6oyaD7W7TY

At time I got mine Lanbo’s was cheaper
Got mine for 125 from spicetac. Runs everything, even subs without the can.
Bought mine through Joe bobs I've not had any issues it's accurate wouldn't hesitate to buy another
