Criterion Barrels AR-15 HBAR Rifle Gas System Barrel Up to $16.50 Off w/ Free S&H — 3 models
This barrel is made of 4150 CrMoV steel, featuring a chrome-lined bore with honed and hand-lapped rifling. The barrel has a 0.750” gas block that is dimpled for ease of installation and solid lock-up.
It looks like I’m answering my own question after doing some quick research into the barrel.
No, this is not “cold hammer forged.” This barrel is designed for rigidity and accuracy instead of high capacity use.
CHF barrels are for 15k rounds fired through them but, are not as accurate as “button-rifled” barrels like this HBAR.
I have an FN15 DMR that just wasn’t very accurate. Turns out it was the 55GR ammo I have tons of. I ordered this barrel to replace the factory 1/7 twist barrel. What a difference. 1 MOA accuracy with standard XM55 ammo. I couldn’t be happier.
I have built over 75 custom AR's using Criterion Barrels. They are second to none. With good ammo, these barrels will consistently shoot .5 moa or better. If you want a tack driving AR, you simply cannot go wrong with them. I'll put them up again...
