About Ballistic Barn
Built for Shooters Who Demand More
Welcome to Ballistic Barn, your trusted source for premium AR-15 complete uppers, AR-10 uppers, parts, accessories, and firearm components. Whether you're building your first rifle, upgrading a proven platform, or assembling a custom firearm from the ground up, we're committed to delivering products that combine exceptional quality, precision, and value.
Ballistic Barn is owned and operated by Ketchum Industries Inc. in Fredericksburg, Texas. We are an online-only retailer and do not operate a walk-in storefront. By focusing exclusively on e-commerce, we're able to invest our time where it matters most—building outstanding products, maintaining competitive pricing, shipping orders quickly, and providing knowledgeable customer support.
Why "Ballistic Barn"?
A barn has always represented craftsmanship, hard work, and American tradition. It's a place where things are built, repaired, and trusted to perform when they're needed most.
That's exactly what Ballistic Barn stands for.
We believe every rifle should be built with purpose, every component should earn its place, and every customer deserves products they can rely on. Whether you're headed to the range, the deer woods, a competition, or simply enjoying the shooting sports, our goal is to help you build an AR platform you can have confidence in.
Built by People Who Understand the AR Platform
The AR-15 remains one of the most versatile firearm platforms ever developed. From lightweight sporting rifles to precision long-range builds and hard-use defensive carbines, every shooter has different goals.
That's why we focus on offering carefully selected components that deliver proven performance instead of overwhelming customers with endless low-quality options. Every product we carry is chosen with reliability, value, and real-world use in mind.
Our website is designed to make it easier to compare calibers, understand configurations, and choose the parts that best fit your shooting style.
Premium Complete Upper Assemblies
Complete upper assemblies are at the heart of what we do.
Every complete upper assembled by Ballistic Barn is built using premium American-made components and assembled in-house with meticulous attention to detail. Before shipping, each upper is professionally checked for proper headspace using precision Manson GO and NO-GO gauges, then thoroughly inspected for fit, function, and overall quality.
Whether you're looking for a lightweight hunting upper, a precision long-range setup, a compact defensive configuration, or a suppressed build, you'll find a wide selection of calibers, barrel lengths, handguards, muzzle devices, bolt carrier groups, charging handles, Cerakote finishes, and other customization options to create the rifle that fits your mission.
